A narrow, rounded sans with visibly modulated strokes and a lightly hand-drawn feel. Forms lean on smooth bowls and open curves, with frequent soft flare points where strokes thicken and taper, creating a lively, high-contrast rhythm. Corners are generally eased rather than sharp, and several joins feel brushlike and organic, producing slight irregularities that read as intentional. The lowercase is simple and approachable, while caps stay compact with broad curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and occasional quirky construction in diagonals and joins.
Well-suited to short text settings where warmth and character are assets: packaging, brand marks, posters, and display headlines. It can also work for playful editorial callouts or UI accents when a friendly tone is needed, though the strong stroke modulation suggests keeping it larger for best clarity.
The overall tone is playful and personable, like casual lettering refined into a usable text face. Its bouncy modulation and rounded geometry give it a cheerful, slightly retro character that feels welcoming rather than formal. The font suggests an expressive, human touch without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of casual hand lettering while maintaining a coherent sans structure for repeatable typography. By combining compact proportions with rounded forms and expressive contrast, it aims to feel distinctive and approachable in display-led applications.
Curved characters show generous internal counters and a consistent roundness, while diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) adopt a more gestural stroke flow. Numerals follow the same rounded, modulated logic; several figures appear more handwritten than strictly geometric, reinforcing the informal personality.
