A monoline, rounded sans with gently irregular stroke behavior that evokes a hand-drawn marker or pen. Curves are smooth and circular with soft terminals, while verticals and diagonals show slight wobble that keeps the texture lively. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed overall, with generous counters and open apertures that maintain clarity. The lowercase leans toward simple, single-storey constructions and the numerals match the same soft, rounded geometry for a cohesive set.
Works well for short-to-medium display text such as headlines, labels, packaging, posters, and brand wordmarks that benefit from an informal, handcrafted character. It can also suit educational or children-oriented materials where friendliness and approachability are key.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a warm, personable voice rather than a rigid geometric feel. Subtle unevenness adds charm and a human touch, making text feel conversational and approachable.
The design appears intended to provide a simple sans structure with a deliberately human, hand-rendered finish—clean enough to read easily, but casual enough to feel personal and lighthearted.
The rhythm reads cleanly at display sizes, while the light, monoline build and narrow proportions give paragraphs an airy, economical line length. The design favors smooth curves over sharp corners, keeping the texture soft and inviting.
