A slim, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a gently irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes stay even and clean, with tall proportions and tight sidebearings that create a compact, vertical texture. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are small but open enough to read, and joins remain simple without sharp corners. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, adding a natural, human feel while keeping the alphabet cohesive.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, quotes, and light editorial callouts. It’s also well-suited to playful branding and educational or children-focused materials where a warm, informal sans is appropriate.
The tone is lighthearted and approachable, like neat marker lettering or a friendly comic caption. Its narrow, tall silhouette gives it a slightly quirky energy that feels informal and personable rather than technical or corporate.
The font appears designed to offer a clean, narrow sans with rounded ends and a hand-rendered personality, prioritizing charm and compactness over strict geometric uniformity. Its consistent monoline structure suggests an intent to stay legible while projecting a casual, approachable voice.
The design leans on minimal geometry with softened ends, avoiding decorative flourishes while still feeling distinctive through proportion and subtle irregularity. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, matching the text color and keeping a consistent rhythm in mixed settings.
