A rounded sans with softly squared curves and subtly uneven, hand-drawn-looking outlines. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with gently blunted terminals and small variations that give the letterforms a warm, tactile texture. Counters are roomy and shapes are generally open, while key joins and curves (notably in bowls and shoulders) lean toward superellipse-like geometry rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is steady and readable, with a casual, slightly wobbly edge that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
Well-suited to packaging, labels, posters, and brand systems that want an approachable, handcrafted feel. It can work for short-to-medium text in friendly contexts (education, lifestyle, casual editorial), and it’s especially effective for headlines and display settings where its soft, human texture can carry the tone.
The font reads as friendly and relaxed, with a DIY tone that suggests hand lettering translated into a clean, consistent system. Its soft corners and mild irregularities make it feel personable and welcoming, lending a light, playful voice without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple rounded sans with the charm of hand-made imperfections. It prioritizes approachability and warmth, using soft rectangular curves and gently irregular stroke edges to create a distinctive yet readable voice.
The numerals and capitals share the same softened, slightly imperfect finishing, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed typography. In text, the rounded forms and open shapes keep paragraphs comfortable, while the organic edges add character that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
