A soft, rounded sans with an intentionally handmade, marker-like construction. Strokes are consistently thin with gently uneven terminals, giving letters a drawn-by-hand rhythm while keeping forms clean and readable. Curves are generous and circular, counters stay open, and joins are simple, producing a smooth texture in text. Proportions skew slightly condensed with straightforward, uncluttered shapes across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short to medium-length text where a personable tone is desired, such as children’s materials, casual branding, packaging, invitations, posters, and social graphics. It can also work for UI accents or labels when a friendly, non-corporate feel is needed and sizes are large enough to preserve its light strokes.
The overall tone is warm and relaxed, with a youthful, conversational feel. Its mild irregularities add personality without turning into decorative script, making it feel human and approachable rather than technical or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, neat hand lettering in a streamlined sans structure—prioritizing friendliness, clarity, and an easygoing texture over strict geometric precision. It aims to provide an informal voice that remains legible and consistent in running text.
Uppercase forms are simple and rounded, with a notably open, looped construction in letters like G and a compact, friendly look in S and C. Lowercase is single-storey where expected (a, g), and the numerals echo the same rounded geometry, keeping a cohesive, informal voice in mixed alphanumeric settings.
