A clean sans with rounded construction and subtly irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior. Curves are smooth but not mechanically perfect, with slight wobble and occasional asymmetry that gives letters a human feel. Strokes are generally monolinear with soft, blunt terminals; counters stay open and clear, and bowls tend toward near-circular shapes. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, while widths vary by glyph in a natural, handwritten way.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display use where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, posters, social graphics, and brand accents. It can also work for informal UI labels or educational materials when a softer tone is needed, though it will be most effective at larger sizes where the subtle irregularities read as intentional texture.
The overall tone is warm and informal, suggesting something personal and lightly playful rather than corporate or technical. Its gentle irregularities read as charming and unpretentious, adding character without becoming overly expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, readable sans with a human touch—prioritizing warmth and approachability while keeping letterforms simple and familiar. The controlled irregularity suggests an aim to feel hand-made without sacrificing overall clarity.
Round letters like O and 0 are clean and simple, while diagonals and joins (as in K, V, W, and y) show mild unevenness that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded logic, keeping a consistent texture alongside text.
