A quirky, humanist sans with gently rounded forms and noticeable stroke modulation. Curves are slightly uneven and softened, giving the outlines an inked, hand-drawn feel while remaining clean and legible. Many strokes end in tapered or subtly flared terminals, and counters tend to be open and friendly. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; ascenders and descenders are prominent, and the overall texture alternates between sturdy verticals and lighter connecting strokes.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where personality is an asset: children’s materials, playful branding, packaging, posters, and expressive headings. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when a friendly, handmade voice is desired, while longer reading may benefit from generous spacing due to its lively rhythm.
The face reads as warm and approachable, with a whimsical, storybook tone. Its irregularities and soft finishing details add personality and charm, suggesting craft, casual humor, and an informal voice rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to balance everyday readability with a handcrafted sensibility. By combining sans-like construction with gentle modulation and idiosyncratic terminals, it aims to deliver an informal, personable look that stands out in display and brand-forward contexts.
Distinctive letterforms include a single-storey “a” and “g,” a looped, expressive “y,” and numerals that mix simple geometric bases with calligraphic quirks (notably the curvy 2 and 3). Uppercase shapes stay straightforward but keep the same softened terminals and uneven stroke energy, helping headings feel characterful without becoming overly decorative.
