A narrow, hand-drawn sans with rounded terminals and slightly uneven stroke edges that mimic marker or brush pen lettering. Many strokes include subtle interior voids and doubled contours, creating a lightly hollowed, sketch-traced look rather than solid, uniform fills. Proportions are compact with tall, simple uppercase forms and a mixed, slightly bouncy rhythm in the lowercase. Counters are generally open and generous (notably in o, e, a), while joins and curves show organic irregularities that reinforce a human-made texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its textured, hollowed stroke effect can be appreciated—such as posters, social graphics, packaging, playful branding, and kid-oriented materials. It can also work for informal pull quotes or labels, but the sketch-like counters and narrow proportions may feel busy at very small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone is playful and approachable, with a crafty, doodled character that feels spontaneous and personable. The interior cutouts and imperfect outlines add a whimsical, indie flavor—more like hand-lettered signage than formal typography.
The design appears intended to capture a casual hand-lettered voice while adding visual interest through hollowed, double-stroked interiors. Its consistent rounded geometry and controlled irregularities suggest a deliberately “drawn” aesthetic aimed at friendly, expressive display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase maintain consistent stroke behavior, with distinctive, simplified constructions (e.g., single-storey a and g) and softly squared curves. Numerals follow the same handmade logic, with rounded shapes and occasional internal breaks that keep the set visually cohesive.
