A sans with subtly irregular, humanist construction: strokes are generally monolinear but show mild modulation and soft, tapered terminals. Curves are open and generous, and the overall rhythm has a lightly “wobbly” baseline/verticals effect that adds character while remaining legible. Counters tend to be round and roomy, and several forms (notably in the bowls and diagonals) feel intentionally hand-drawn rather than strictly geometric.
Works well for branding that wants to feel personable (cafés, shops, creative services), as well as packaging, posters, and editorial callouts where a little character is beneficial. It can also suit UI labels or short body text when a friendly tone is desired, though the quirky rhythm is most impactful at display and subhead sizes.
This font reads as friendly and informal, with a gentle eccentricity that keeps it from feeling corporate or overly neutral. The slightly bouncy rhythm and softened joins give it a warm, approachable voice that can feel playful without becoming childish.
The design appears aimed at providing an everyday sans with a distinct, human touch—adding subtle irregularity and softened endings to avoid a sterile texture. It balances recognizable, readable letterforms with just enough quirky motion to create a memorable typographic color in paragraphs and headlines.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, slightly whimsical construction, and the figures match the same softened, informal tone. The sample text shows comfortable readability with a distinctive texture created by the gentle irregularities and open, rounded shapes.
