A tall, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular curves that suggest a hand-drawn or marker-like construction. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact counters and a modest x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Strokes stay even throughout, with subtle organic wobble in stems and joins that keeps the texture lively rather than strictly geometric. Overall spacing feels open and airy, and the character set maintains consistent simplicity across letters and figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, informal voice is desired, such as headlines, posters, social graphics, packaging, and brand accents. It can also work well for children’s materials, invitations, and casual signage where a hand-made tone is an asset.
The font reads friendly and approachable, with a lighthearted, slightly quirky tone. Its narrow, tall stance and rounded ends give it a cheerful, modern craft feel that avoids formality and invites a conversational voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a simple sans structure with an intentionally hand-rendered feel, balancing clarity with character. Its narrow, tall proportions and rounded terminals suggest a focus on expressive display use while remaining readable in everyday applications.
Uppercase forms are clean and straightforward, while the lowercase introduces more personality through simple single-storey constructions and soft, looped shapes. Numerals share the same narrow, rounded treatment, keeping the overall color consistent in mixed text. The sample text shows a rhythm that stays legible while retaining an intentionally imperfect, human touch.
