A monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn contour that shows subtle wobble along curves and joins. Proportions are generally compact with a modest x-height and open counters, while widths vary by glyph, giving the alphabet an easy, non-mechanical rhythm. Curves tend toward circular forms (notably in C/O/Q) with simplified, geometric-ish construction, and straight strokes keep gentle corners rather than sharp cuts.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, human touch is desirable—such as posters, packaging, brand wordmarks, café/retail signage, and editorial headings. It also fits kids-oriented or craft-adjacent applications where a softer, approachable sans is preferred over a strictly geometric look.
The overall tone feels personable and informal, like neat marker lettering refined into a consistent typeface. Its rounded shapes and slight irregularities project warmth and a mild playfulness without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable sans voice with hand-made charm—keeping letterforms simple and legible while adding warmth through rounded terminals and gentle irregularity.
Capitals read clean and straightforward, while lowercase introduces more personality through single-storey forms and varied stroke endings. Numerals maintain the same soft, slightly uneven hand-rendered character, helping text feel cohesive across letters and figures.
