A narrow, upright sans with an intentionally hand-drawn feel and noticeable stroke modulation. Strokes taper and swell like a dry brush or marker, producing soft joins, slightly uneven curves, and subtly irregular terminals. Proportions are compact with a tall x-height, while counters stay fairly open, helping letters remain legible despite the lively, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing feels tight and energetic, with small variations in width and form that reinforce the handmade character.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, book covers, and social media graphics. It can also work for branding accents and playful UI labels when used at comfortable sizes where the stroke modulation and irregularities remain crisp.
The font reads as warm and informal, with a whimsical, doodled personality rather than a strict geometric or engineered tone. Its brushy contrast and bouncy outlines give it a human, approachable voice that feels crafty and upbeat.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering in a clean sans structure, balancing legibility with an expressive, crafted texture. Its compact build and tall x-height suggest an aim for readable, space-efficient typography that still feels human and spontaneous.
Uppercase forms are slim and vertical, and the lowercase shows strong personality through slightly asymmetric bowls and occasional teardrop-like stroke endings. Numerals match the same organic contrast and rounded construction, keeping the set visually cohesive across text and display use.
