A clean, sans-style alphabet with rounded, softly squared forms and an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn edge. Strokes are generally uniform and low-contrast, but show subtle wobble and texture that creates a lively outline rather than a rigid geometric finish. Counters tend to be open and roomy, with simple construction across capitals and lowercase; terminals often look slightly blunted or brush-cut, and curves are not perfectly circular, reinforcing an organic rhythm. Spacing appears comfortably loose in the sample text, supporting readable word shapes despite the irregular contour.
Well-suited to packaging, café/retail signage, posters, and branding that benefits from an approachable handmade feel. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial text, pull quotes, and headings where a bit of texture and personality is desirable while keeping legibility intact.
The overall tone is informal and human, like marker or pen lettering translated into a dependable text face. It feels friendly and unpretentious, with a mild vintage/DIY flavor that adds warmth without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of casual hand lettering within a straightforward sans structure, balancing readability with subtle irregularities for a natural, personable presence.
Distinctive quirks—such as slightly uneven verticals, gently varied curve tension, and small baseline/width inconsistencies—give the font character and prevent it from feeling sterile. The figures and uppercase maintain the same handmade texture as the lowercase, keeping a cohesive voice across mixed-case settings.
