A wide, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes show noticeable contrast and subtle wobble, with terminals that often taper or flare slightly, giving an inked/marker-like texture rather than a geometric smoothness. Counters are open and generous, curves dominate the construction, and straight strokes are gently bowed, creating a lively rhythm. Proportions are expansive with broad letters and comfortable spacing; shapes remain upright and legible while embracing small inconsistencies that feel crafted rather than mechanical.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that want an approachable, handmade feel. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads in editorial layouts when a casual, human tone is desired, but the textured irregularity may feel busy at very small sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and human, with a playful, storybook sensibility. Its uneven edges and bouncy curves suggest something casual, approachable, and creative, more akin to hand-lettering than a corporate sans.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-drawn, inked sans look—combining broad, rounded letterforms with controlled irregularities to add warmth and character while maintaining clear readability in display use.
Uppercase forms read bold and simple with softened corners, while lowercase keeps the same rounded vocabulary and slightly quirky detailing in joins and terminals. Numerals are similarly wide and curvy, matching the informal texture seen across the alphabet.
