A rounded, monoline hand-drawn sans with softly blunted terminals and gently uneven stroke edges that retain a consistent overall thickness. Forms lean on simple geometric construction—open counters, broad curves, and minimal detailing—while preserving hand-made irregularities in joins, arcs, and stroke endings. Uppercase letters are clean and legible with slightly varied widths, and the lowercase keeps a simple print structure (single-storey a and g) with open apertures and modest ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same soft, handwritten logic with smooth curves and friendly proportions.
Well-suited to applications that benefit from an informal, friendly voice such as children’s materials, casual packaging, event flyers, stickers, short headlines, and social media graphics. It also works for brief UI labels or callouts when a human, approachable tone is desired and long-form reading is not the primary focus.
The font communicates an easygoing, personable tone—like neat marker lettering used for quick notes or classroom materials. Its rounded shapes and subtle imperfections give it warmth and informality without becoming messy or overly expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate tidy, everyday handwritten print—simple, rounded, and highly legible—providing a casual alternative to a standard sans for lighthearted communication.
Rhythm is steady and readable in text, with consistent spacing and open shapes that help maintain clarity at smaller sizes. The hand-drawn character shows up most in the slightly varied curvature and terminal shapes rather than dramatic texture or contrast.
