A rounded, casual sans with subtly irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior and softened terminals. Curves are generously open (notably in C, G, and S), while straight strokes remain slightly organic rather than rigidly geometric. Proportions are readable and moderately compact, with comfortable counters and a calm rhythm in text. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey construction where applicable, with a gently tapered feel in joins and a modest baseline liveliness that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical.
Well-suited to packaging, posters, and branding that benefit from a personable, handcrafted tone. It also works comfortably for short-to-medium editorial text, educational materials, and friendly UI/UX moments such as onboarding copy or callouts, where a relaxed voice and clear letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is friendly and unpretentious, with a warm, conversational texture that suggests handwriting without becoming overly rough. Its gentle irregularity adds personality and charm, giving it a relaxed, everyday feel rather than a corporate or technical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans foundation with a human, hand-rendered twist—prioritizing approachability and character while keeping shapes open and legible for practical use.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same soft, slightly uneven logic as the lowercase, creating a cohesive set for mixed-content typography. The shapes stay clear at text sizes, while the subtle wobble and open apertures become more expressive as the size increases.
