A rounded sans with softly drawn, slightly irregular strokes that mimic marker or brush lettering. Curves are generous and open, with smooth bowls and rounded terminals; straight strokes retain a subtle wobble that keeps the texture human rather than mechanical. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with clear counters and simple, unadorned shapes that remain legible in continuous text. Spacing feels even but not rigid, supporting a relaxed rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited for packaging, café/food branding, posters, and casual display where a welcoming voice is desired. It also works for short-to-medium text in brochures, labels, and social graphics when a friendly, handcrafted impression is more important than a crisp, technical finish.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a handmade character that reads as friendly and lightly playful. Its gentle irregularities add charm and informality, avoiding a corporate feel while still staying clear enough for everyday reading.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable, hand-drawn alternative to a standard rounded sans—keeping letterforms simple and readable while adding subtle, organic texture for personality and warmth.
Capitals have straightforward geometry and restrained personality, while the lowercase introduces more of the handwritten flavor through slightly varied stroke alignment and softly shaped joins. Numerals match the same rounded construction and casual consistency, blending naturally with the letters.
