A soft, rounded sans with subtly irregular contours and a gently wavy baseline feel. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with open bowls and generous curves that keep counters clear at display sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly flared or tapered in places, giving letters a hand-cut, lightly wobbling geometry rather than rigid construction. Capitals are broad and simple, while the lowercase shows more idiosyncrasy—single-storey forms, asymmetric joins, and small departures in alignment that create a lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded, slightly uneven logic, with smooth curves and sturdy verticals.
Well suited to packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, book covers, and kid-focused or playful editorial headings where a friendly, handcrafted tone is desired. It can also work for short callouts, captions, and signage when you want warmth and personality more than strict neutrality.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, with a crafted, homemade character that reads as casual rather than technical. Its mild irregularity adds warmth and personality, suggesting a human touch and a lighthearted voice.
The design appears intended to offer a familiar sans foundation with deliberate, humanized irregularities—adding charm and approachability while keeping basic letterforms clear and readable. It aims to feel informal and distinctive without relying on decorative effects.
Spacing appears comfortable and the shapes remain legible, but the intentional unevenness and quirky details make it feel more at home in short bursts of text than in dense, small-size settings. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) emphasize the font’s buoyant, springy rhythm, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) keep a slightly chunky, friendly presence.
