A heavy, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and soft, brush-like terminals. Strokes are full and even, with gently swollen curves and minimal sharp corners; counters are open and simple, supporting quick recognition. The overall rhythm is loose and bouncy, with slightly irregular, handwritten-like proportions that keep it from feeling rigid or geometric.
Works well for branding that wants a friendly, human feel—such as cafes, kids or family-oriented products, and lifestyle packaging. It suits posters, headlines, social media graphics, and short editorial callouts where a casual tone is beneficial. For longer text, it’s best used at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing to preserve its airy, flowing rhythm.
This typeface feels friendly and informal, with an upbeat, conversational tone. Its smooth, rounded forms and forward slant give it a lively, approachable energy that reads as casual rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to combine the ease of a rounded sans with the personality of hand-drawn lettering. It prioritizes warmth and momentum through a consistent slant, generous curves, and softened joins, aiming for clear reading while keeping a distinctly informal voice.
Capitals and lowercase share a cohesive, rounded construction, and the numerals match the same soft, slanted handwriting character. The forms lean on broad curves and simplified structure, creating a smooth texture on the line rather than crisp, mechanical repetition.
