A rounded sans with a subtly hand-drawn construction and softly irregular stroke endings. Curves are smooth and open, with gentle, slightly uneven terminals that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. Counters are generally generous and the rhythm is steady, while letter widths vary enough to feel natural in text. Straight strokes stay upright but show mild organic wobble, and round forms like O/C/G read as elliptical and warm rather than strictly geometric.
Well suited to packaging, café/retail branding, posters, and short-to-medium headlines where a friendly, human touch is beneficial. It can also work for educational or children’s content and UI accents where clarity is needed but a sterile tone would be undesirable.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, suggesting everyday friendliness more than corporate neutrality. Its slight imperfections add a handmade charm that can feel playful and welcoming without becoming decorative or overly stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing sans for everyday communication, combining straightforward letterforms with just enough irregularity to feel human and warm. It balances legibility with personality, aiming for approachability rather than strict precision.
At text sizes the face maintains clear silhouettes and open apertures, while the uneven terminals create a distinctive, slightly “marker” or “sketch” texture. Numerals follow the same rounded, informal logic, with simple, readable shapes and soft corners that match the letters.
