A rounded, hand-drawn sans with monoline-like strokes that swell and taper subtly, giving a lively, uneven rhythm. Letterforms are simple and open, with soft terminals and gently irregular curves; counters stay generous while outlines show a lightly textured, inked-in feel. Proportions lean compact with tall ascenders, and spacing reads natural rather than mechanically uniform, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand character across both uppercase and lowercase.
This font works best for headlines, short captions, and brand moments that benefit from a friendly handmade feel—such as packaging, café menus, event flyers, classroom materials, and social media graphics. The textured stroke character is especially effective at medium to large sizes where the irregularities can be appreciated without compromising clarity.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a crafty, doodled charm that feels spontaneous and human. Its slight roughness and bouncy shapes suggest an upbeat, conversational voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to capture an organic, marker/brush-drawn look with consistent readability, balancing rounded geometry with deliberate imperfections to evoke a casual, crafted aesthetic.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and rounded, while lowercase introduces more personality through varied bowl shapes and a single-storey look on key letters. Numerals follow the same soft, hand-rendered logic, keeping the set cohesive in display and short text settings.
