A quirky sans with irregular, hand-drawn construction and subtly fluctuating stroke thickness. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional soft rounding, and curves feel slightly lopsided, giving counters an organic, imperfect geometry. The rhythm is uneven in a deliberate way: widths and sidebearings vary from glyph to glyph, with narrow verticals paired with broader round forms, creating a lively texture in lines of text. Capitals are tall and simple, while the lowercase shows more character through asymmetric bowls, open apertures, and a slightly wandering baseline feel in the overall silhouette.
Best suited to display sizes where its irregular curves and variable rhythm can be appreciated—posters, packaging, labels, and expressive branding. It can also work for short editorial headlines or pull quotes when a casual, human voice is needed, but its uneven texture may feel busy for long-form text at smaller sizes.
The font reads friendly and offbeat, like marker lettering refined into a consistent set. Its small quirks—tilted joins, uneven curves, and springy proportions—add humor and approachability without becoming chaotic. The tone leans casual and retro, suitable for designs that want warmth and personality rather than strict neutrality.
The design appears intended to capture a handmade, slightly wobbly sans look while keeping letterforms clear and consistent across a full basic set. It prioritizes charm and individuality over strict geometric precision, aiming for a distinctive, friendly display voice.
Round figures like 0/8/9 are generously filled with large counters, while angular forms (V, W, X, Z) keep a slightly pinched, cut-paper quality. Punctuation and numerals maintain the same playful irregularity, helping mixed content feel cohesive.
