A compact, heavy sans with softly rounded corners and a subtly irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes are largely monoline with gentle swelling and slight wobble that keeps edges from feeling mechanical. Counters are open and simple, terminals are blunt, and joins are uncomplicated, producing sturdy letterforms with an easy rhythm. Proportions are condensed and tall, with straightforward curves in O/C/G and a pragmatic, slightly uneven geometry that reads more human than geometric.
Best suited to short text where personality and impact matter: headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and casual signage. The heavy strokes and open forms hold up well at medium-to-large sizes, making it a strong choice for playful branding and attention-grabbing display copy.
The overall tone is friendly and casual, with a warm, crafted feel. Its chunky shapes and softened edges suggest approachability and a lighthearted, everyday character rather than a formal or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a humanized finish—combining simple, rounded construction with subtle irregularities to create warmth and character while remaining highly legible.
Distinctive details—like the hooked descender on Q, the compact bowls on B/P/R, and the lively, slightly tilted diagonals in K/V/W/X—reinforce the hand-made personality. Numerals are similarly sturdy and rounded, staying consistent with the letterforms’ blunt terminals and compact spacing.
