A rounded sans with a distinctly hand-drawn, marker-like texture. Strokes are monolinear with soft corners and slightly uneven edges, giving the outlines a gently wobbly, organic feel. Counters are open and mostly circular, and terminals tend to be blunt and rounded rather than sharply cut. Proportions are straightforward and readable, with simple, sturdy shapes and mild per-glyph irregularities that create an informal rhythm in text.
Well-suited to packaging, casual branding, and friendly headlines where a handcrafted voice is desirable. It also works for short-to-medium text in informal contexts such as social posts, invitations, educational materials, and kid-oriented design, where warmth and clarity matter more than strict uniformity.
The overall tone is warm and personable, leaning casual and lightly playful rather than strict or technical. Its handmade irregularities read as human and conversational, making it feel approachable and relaxed.
Designed to mimic a quick, confident hand lettering style in a clean sans framework—prioritizing approachability and charm while keeping letterforms simple enough for clear reading.
The uppercase is clean and simple with rounded geometry, while the lowercase shows more character in details like single-storey forms and soft joins. Numerals follow the same friendly, hand-rendered logic, with round bowls and compact proportions that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
