A narrow, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn contours. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal contrast, while bowls and counters are compact and slightly squashed, giving the letterforms a tall, condensed profile. Curves are smooth and open, joins are simple, and diagonals (such as in K, V, W, X) feel slightly springy rather than rigidly geometric. The overall rhythm is airy and readable, with modest character-to-character variation that preserves a human, informal texture.
Well suited to short to medium-length text where a warm, approachable voice is needed—such as children’s materials, casual branding, packaging callouts, social media graphics, and poster headlines. Its condensed proportions can be useful for tight spaces and vertical layouts, while the rounded monoline style maintains clarity at display sizes.
The font reads as friendly and conversational, with a light, doodled charm that feels personal rather than corporate. Its rounded endings and narrow stance create a gentle, playful tone that suits upbeat messaging and informal settings.
Designed to deliver an informal, hand-rendered sans look with rounded terminals and a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with a personable, playful character for everyday display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, simplified construction, and numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic for a cohesive set. The condensed proportions help fit more characters per line, while the soft terminals keep the texture from feeling harsh or technical.
