A lively sans with gently irregular geometry and a hand-drawn steadiness, combining mostly geometric construction with soft, slightly tapered stroke endings. Curves are generous and round, while straight stems and diagonals show subtle wobble and flare that keeps the texture animated rather than rigid. Apertures and counters are generally open, and the overall spacing reads roomy, giving the letters an airy, readable color at display sizes. The figures follow the same informal logic, with smooth bowls and small variations in stroke weight that add character without becoming distressed.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, editorial headlines, packaging, and brand identities that want warmth and personality. It can also work for short UI labels or captions when a friendly tone is desired, though its lively shapes are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a buoyant, slightly quirky rhythm that recalls mid-century signage and casual lettering. It feels friendly and conversational rather than technical, lending a lighthearted energy to headlines and short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to provide a characterful, modern sans alternative that feels handmade without sacrificing clarity. Its controlled irregularities and tapered details aim to inject charm and motion into otherwise straightforward letterforms.
Diagonal forms (like in A, K, V, W, X) lean into the playful rhythm with mild asymmetries, and several terminals show a brush-like taper that creates a subtle calligraphic snap. The lowercase maintains a clean, single-storey feel where applicable, supporting an informal voice while staying legible.
