A chunky, soft-edged sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-rendered rhythm. Strokes show visible modulation, with thicker verticals and tapered joins that create a lightly inked, brush-like feel. Counters are generally open and rounded, while terminals often end in blunt, slightly flared shapes that add warmth and character. Proportions vary subtly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively texture in text without losing overall legibility.
Best suited to short to mid-length settings where texture and character are an asset: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a friendly, handcrafted impression. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where a casual, inviting tone is desired.
The letterforms convey an upbeat, personable tone—more handcrafted than technical. Its unevenness and gentle curvature suggest casual confidence and a touch of retro display charm, making the voice feel approachable and informal.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with handcrafted irregularity and strong silhouette recognition. The controlled contrast and softened geometry aim to keep text readable while adding warmth and personality.
Capital forms read sturdy and poster-like, while lowercase adds extra personality through varied shoulders and soft hooks. Numerals are bold and simplified with clear silhouettes, matching the playful, inked construction of the alphabet.
