A slanted, rounded sans with thick, brush-like strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact with generous curves, small counters, and a lively baseline rhythm that suggests quick hand lettering rather than rigid geometry. The capitals are simplified and sturdy, while the lowercase shows more motion in ascenders and descenders, creating an uneven, energetic texture. Numerals follow the same soft, inked construction with rounded corners and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks that want an approachable voice. It also works well for social graphics, event promotions, and playful editorial display where character matters more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a slightly vintage, comic-adjacent warmth. Its informal slant and plump curves make it feel conversational and friendly, leaning toward fun rather than formal.
Designed to deliver a bold, friendly display presence with a hand-drawn energy. The rounded, ink-like construction and forward slant prioritize warmth and immediacy, aiming for legibility at display sizes while keeping an informal, personable personality.
Spacing reads relatively tight, and the heavy strokes can cause counters to close up at smaller sizes. The consistent rounded stroke endings and pronounced slant help maintain a cohesive, handwritten feel across letters and figures.
