A monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and slightly irregular stroke behavior that suggests hand-drawn construction. Letterforms are generally narrow with compact counters and a gentle, airy rhythm in running text. Curves are smooth and open, while straight strokes show subtle tapering and small variations that keep the texture lively without becoming rough. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, simplified geometry, and numerals follow the same rounded, lightly idiosyncratic treatment.
Well-suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a warm, approachable tone, as well as posters and short headlines where its hand-made texture can stand out. It can also work for children’s or lifestyle-oriented communications, and for display-sized UI accents where a friendly voice is desired.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a playful, lightly whimsical personality. The small inconsistencies and soft endings keep it from feeling corporate, leaning instead toward a human, conversational voice.
Designed to deliver an easygoing sans-serif alternative with a hand-drawn feel—balancing straightforward construction and legibility with subtle irregularities that add charm and personality.
The face maintains readability in paragraphs while retaining character through distinctive single-story forms and slightly varied widths that create a natural, handwritten cadence. It reads cleanly at larger sizes where the rounded joins and gentle quirks can be appreciated.
