A chunky rounded sans with softly inflated strokes and subtly irregular contours that evoke hand-drawn marker shapes. Terminals are consistently rounded, corners are eased rather than sharp, and bowls lean toward near-circular geometry with slight wobble that keeps the texture lively. Proportions are generous and open, with wide counters and sturdy verticals, giving the letters a stable, easy-reading silhouette despite the organic stroke edges.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where its rounded personality can be a feature—such as packaging, posters, playful branding, children’s materials, and casual social graphics. It can also work for labels and UI accents when a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired, but its heavy, organic texture is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is warm, approachable, and a bit mischievous—more craft-table than corporate. Its buoyant shapes and gentle unevenness suggest spontaneity and humor, making text feel friendly and conversational rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a cheerful, hand-made sans that stays highly legible while adding character through soft geometry and controlled irregularity. It prioritizes approachability and charm over strict precision, aiming for an inviting display voice that still reads cleanly in continuous text.
Distinctive forms include a single-storey lowercase a and g, a simple upright i with a round dot, and a compact t with a short crossbar. Capitals maintain the same rounded, slightly wavy construction as the lowercase, helping mixed-case setting feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same soft, inflated style, with rounded joins and clear, uncomplicated shapes suited to display use.
