A rounded, monoline sans with a consistent right-leaning posture and softly blunted terminals throughout. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, giving letters a smooth, marker-like rhythm. Proportions are compact and generally tall, with a moderate x-height and slightly irregular, humanized spacing that keeps the texture lively. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while diagonals and joins remain simple and open for clear silhouettes.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly voice is desired, such as packaging, posters, book covers, and social media graphics. It can also work for educational or children-oriented materials thanks to its clear, open forms and softened geometry. For best results, use it at display and subtitle sizes where the lively rhythm and rounded details remain prominent.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a lighthearted, handwritten energy. Its gentle rounding and subtle wobble feel approachable and youthful without becoming overly decorative. The slant adds momentum, giving lines of text a conversational, upbeat cadence.
Likely designed to provide a personable, hand-made alternative to neutral sans typography while staying legible and cohesive. The consistent monoline drawing, rounded terminals, and uniform slant suggest an emphasis on friendliness and motion over strict geometric precision.
The numeral set follows the same soft, hand-drawn logic, with simple forms and rounded ends that match the alphabet well. Lowercase shapes keep counters open and uncomplicated, supporting quick recognition, while the consistent lean and terminal treatment tie the set together across sizes.
