A sans with simplified, rounded letterforms and softly squared curves, drawn with an intentionally uneven, hand-rendered stroke. The outlines show subtle wobble and slightly rough edges, giving a printed/marker feel rather than a rigid geometric build. Proportions are straightforward and legible, with open counters and clear silhouettes; terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, and curves on characters like C, G, O, and S read as gentle and human rather than perfectly circular. Spacing appears comfortable and the overall texture is lively due to small variations in stroke edge and width.
Well-suited for packaging, posters, signage, and brand touchpoints that benefit from a casual, human voice. It can also work for short paragraphs, captions, and UI labels where an approachable, less-formal texture is desired, especially in educational, craft, or lifestyle contexts.
The font conveys an informal, friendly tone with a craft-like honesty—more personable than corporate and more playful than strictly utilitarian. Its mild roughness suggests hand lettering, classroom materials, or DIY packaging, creating warmth and approachability while staying readable at typical display and text sizes.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, readable sans foundation with a deliberately hand-drawn finish—prioritizing warmth and personality through subtle irregularity while maintaining clear letter recognition.
The set balances round and straight elements with consistent stroke energy, producing a cohesive rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals share the same softened, slightly irregular construction, reinforcing the hand-made texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
