A condensed, rounded sans with a lightly hand-drawn feel and subtly uneven stroke edges. Curves are smooth and open, while verticals stay mostly straight, creating a clean but informal rhythm. Proportions are tall with compact letter widths, and counters remain clear even as details wobble slightly from glyph to glyph. Numerals and punctuation follow the same soft, simplified construction, keeping the overall texture cohesive in text.
Works best for short to medium text where personality is desired—headlines, posters, packaging, invitations, and social graphics. It can also suit educational or kid-oriented materials thanks to its friendly, rounded shapes, while its condensed proportions help fit more characters into tight spaces.
The tone is approachable and lightly whimsical, like casual marker lettering refined into a consistent font. Its narrow, tall forms give it an energetic, chatty presence without becoming loud or heavily stylized.
Designed to provide a clean sans foundation with a hand-rendered warmth, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, lively texture. The goal appears to be an everyday display face that feels human and upbeat while remaining structurally straightforward.
Texture comes from small variations in curvature and terminal shaping rather than contrast or ornament. In longer lines, the condensed width and lively letterforms create a distinctive vertical cadence that reads as informal and human.
