A rounded sans with softly modulated, brush-like strokes and slightly irregular outlines that read as intentionally handmade rather than strictly geometric. Curves are generous and open, with terminals that often taper or blunt subtly, giving letters a warm, inked texture. Proportions feel relaxed and contemporary, with clear counters and straightforward construction that keeps the alphabet highly recognizable. Figures follow the same informal rhythm, pairing rounded bowls with simple, legible skeletons.
Well-suited for packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and short headlines where a human, crafted voice is desired. It can also work for children’s materials and friendly UI accents, especially when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve clarity. For long-form body text, it’s best used selectively, as the textured stroke quality becomes a dominant stylistic feature.
The overall tone is friendly and unpretentious, like casual lettering made with a felt pen or dry brush. Its gentle irregularities add personality and approachability, making text feel conversational and lightly playful without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver the clarity of a simple sans while adding the warmth of hand-drawn lettering through subtle irregularity and ink-like terminals. It aims for everyday usability with added character, balancing legibility with an approachable, handcrafted feel.
In the sample text, the textured edges and slight stroke wobble are most noticeable at larger sizes, where they contribute charm and a hand-rendered presence. At smaller sizes, the same texture can read as a soft grain, so spacing and size choices will influence how crisp or rustic the result feels.
