A lively sans with an irregular, hand-drawn rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves are generously rounded and often slightly asymmetrical, giving bowls and counters a buoyant, offbeat geometry. Terminals tend to flare or taper subtly, and joins show a casual, brush-like logic that creates uneven widths within and across glyphs. Spacing feels open and airy, with compact, simplified forms and a generally monolinear skeleton that’s animated by contrasting thicks and thins.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its personality can be a feature. It also works well for short bursts of text in playful contexts (events, cafés, kids-focused materials), while longer paragraphs may feel busy due to the lively stroke variation and irregular cadence.
The tone is warm, approachable, and intentionally imperfect—more conversational than corporate. Its bouncy proportions and varied stroke energy evoke a crafty, retro-leaning charm suited to lighthearted messaging and expressive headlines.
Designed to deliver a friendly, handcrafted sans voice with visible stroke contrast and organic irregularity, prioritizing personality and visual motion over strict geometric consistency.
Round letters like O/Q and the numerals emphasize soft, inflated shapes, while straight-stem letters (I, L, T) retain slight wobble that reinforces the handmade feel. The uppercase reads bold and graphic, while the lowercase adds extra character through varied bowl shapes and playful descenders, helping mixed-case text feel animated.
