A rounded, monoline sans with gently irregular strokes that suggest a hand-drawn marker or felt-tip origin. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and curves are generously open, giving letters a light, breathable texture. Proportions are slightly varied from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm while keeping a consistent baseline and overall legibility. The lowercase is simple and open, with single-storey forms where expected and minimal detailing; numerals follow the same soft, straightforward construction.
Works well for branding and packaging that benefits from an informal, personable voice, as well as posters, short headlines, and social graphics where a friendly handmade feel is desired. It can also suit children’s or family-oriented materials thanks to its rounded forms and open counters.
The overall tone is friendly and relaxed, with a playful handmade character that feels conversational rather than formal. Its mild irregularity reads as human and approachable, making it well suited to warm, casual messaging.
Likely intended to deliver a clean sans foundation with a hand-rendered warmth—prioritizing approachability and ease of reading while adding just enough irregularity to feel personal and crafted.
Round characters stay spacious and clear, and the stroke modulation remains minimal, so the texture stays even in text. The design leans on soft geometry and subtle wobble rather than sharp angles, which helps it feel gentle and non-technical.
