A quirky, humanist sans with softly rounded strokes and noticeably idiosyncratic terminals. Curves are slightly flattened or notched in places, giving counters and bowls an irregular, handmade rhythm rather than a purely geometric construction. Vertical stems stay fairly steady while joins and endings show small calligraphic-like flicks and subtle cut-ins, which adds texture without introducing true serif structure. Overall spacing and proportions feel moderately open, with rounded forms (C, G, O, Q) and simple, single-storey shapes in the lowercase contributing to a friendly silhouette.
Well suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display sizes where its lively terminals and irregular curves can be appreciated. It can work effectively for branding, packaging, editorial callouts, posters, and educational or children-oriented materials that benefit from a friendly, handcrafted feel.
The tone is informal and characterful, suggesting a contemporary, crafty sensibility with a hint of storybook charm. Its irregular details make it feel personable and approachable, more expressive than neutral sans text faces while still remaining clean and readable.
The design appears intended to offer an approachable sans voice with deliberate quirks—softening the usual cleanliness of a sans through subtly sculpted terminals and uneven, hand-touched curvature to add warmth and memorability in display use.
Several letters feature distinctive “carved” terminals and slight asymmetries that create a lively baseline and word texture in running text. Numerals echo the same softened, slightly notched construction, keeping a cohesive voice across alphanumerics.
