A rounded sans with softened terminals and subtly uneven stroke edges that create a lightly textured, hand-drawn impression. Curves are generous and open, with circular bowls and smooth joins that keep counters readable. Strokes stay fairly consistent in thickness, while small irregularities in curves and endpoints add warmth without becoming messy. Proportions feel balanced for text use, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and straightforward numerals.
Well suited to packaging, labels, and posters where an approachable, handmade tone is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages, captions, and educational or children-oriented materials thanks to its open shapes and easy readability.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like marker lettering refined into a dependable text face. Its gentle irregularity suggests personality and craft, giving layouts a relaxed, approachable voice without sacrificing clarity.
The design appears intended to blend the simplicity of a rounded sans with the warmth of hand-rendered lettering, providing a personable voice for everyday typography. It prioritizes clarity and friendliness over strict geometric precision.
The rhythm is slightly bouncy due to minor variations in contour, which helps avoid a sterile geometric feel. Round forms (O, C, G, e) read as smooth and open, and the numerals share the same softened, human touch for cohesive mixed-text settings.
