A narrow, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular curves that suggest a hand-drawn construction while remaining consistent from glyph to glyph. Strokes keep an even thickness with subtle wobble in verticals and arcs, and corners are smoothed rather than sharply cut. Proportions are compact with relatively tall lowercase forms, open apertures, and simplified, clean shapes that maintain legibility at text sizes.
Works well for short-to-medium text in contexts where warmth and approachability matter, such as children’s materials, packaging, posters, and casual branding. It is especially effective in headlines, UI labels, and social graphics where a friendly voice and quick readability are desired.
The overall tone is friendly and lighthearted, with a casual, human rhythm that feels conversational rather than engineered. Rounded endings and slightly quirky letterforms give it an inviting, optimistic personality suited to informal communication.
Likely designed to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the charm of a hand-drawn marker style, prioritizing warmth and approachability while keeping forms straightforward and readable.
Capitals are simple and clean with modestly rounded geometry, while the lowercase carries more of the character through single-storey forms and soft joins. Numerals match the same rounded, handwritten logic, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed text and figures.
