A monoline, soft-edged sans with a distinctly hand-drawn irregularity. Strokes keep a consistent thickness but show subtle wobble and asymmetric joins, creating a lively rhythm. Curves are generously rounded and terminals often flare into wedge-like, brushy cuts, while counters remain open and simple. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, producing a slightly uneven, human feel, with tall ascenders and compact bowls contributing to an animated texture in text.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, handmade voice is desired. It can also work well for children’s materials, event promos, and short pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the quirky details have room to breathe.
The overall tone is casual and personable, with a playful, slightly retro craft sensibility. Its bouncy silhouettes and imperfect geometry suggest approachability and humor rather than precision or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a warm, handcrafted sans alternative that feels expressive and distinctive in display settings while remaining legible in short text. Its irregular rhythm and playful terminals prioritize personality and charm over strict geometric uniformity.
Several glyphs lean on simplified constructions and distinctive stroke endings that read as calligraphic or marker-like without becoming fully script. The digit set follows the same rounded, informal logic, helping headings and short numeric callouts feel consistent with the alphabet.
