A rounded, monoline sans with softly irregular, hand-drawn contours and gently squared stroke terminals. Curves are built from broad arcs and slightly flattened bowls, giving letters a calm, open feel with modest overshoot and relaxed geometry. Counters are generous and apertures stay fairly open, while joins and stroke endings show subtle wobble that reads as organic rather than mechanical. Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting legibility in continuous text despite the intentionally imperfect edge.
Well-suited to brand marks, packaging, and editorial headlines that benefit from a personable, handmade voice. It can also work in short-to-medium text for casual communications—such as invitations, café menus, or children’s materials—where a friendly texture is desirable.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a crafted, human texture that feels conversational and unpretentious. Its mild quirks suggest warmth and playfulness without becoming novelty-heavy, making it feel like a modern handwritten print rather than a strict geometric sans.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of hand-rendered lettering, adding subtle irregularity to avoid a sterile, purely geometric feel while staying highly readable.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with broad proportions, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, readable rhythm. Numerals match the same rounded, slightly uneven construction, helping mixed-content settings feel cohesive.
