A chunky, rounded sans with hand-drawn irregularity and softly blunted terminals. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, with gently uneven edges that suggest a marker or brush texture rather than geometric precision. Counters are open and generous, and many curves (C, O, S, 0) have slightly wobbly outlines that create a lively rhythm. Spacing reads fairly even in text, while individual glyphs keep an intentionally imperfect, handcrafted consistency.
Works best for short to medium-length display settings where texture and personality are desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and brand touchpoints. It can also suit children’s materials, crafts-oriented design, or casual editorial callouts where a friendly, handmade voice helps set the tone.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly scruffy energy. Its handmade texture feels casual and human, leaning toward youthful and upbeat rather than formal or technical.
Designed to provide a bold, approachable sans voice with visible hand-made character. The aim appears to be creating strong readability at display sizes while preserving organic imperfections that add charm and informality.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with minimal detail, and the lowercase maintains clear distinctions at a glance, aided by large bowls and straightforward constructions. Numerals match the same rounded, hand-rendered feel, with friendly proportions that favor legibility over strict uniformity.
