A monoline, rounded sans with an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn stroke that wobbles slightly along curves and terminals. Forms favor broad, open counters and soft corners, with gently squashed ovals in letters like O/C and a generally relaxed, roomy construction. Diagonals and joins show subtle asymmetry and small stroke kinks, creating a natural marker/pen feel rather than a mechanically perfect outline. Numerals and capitals keep the same simplified geometry, prioritizing clarity through open shapes and straightforward, unembellished structures.
Works best for short to medium-length text where its hand-drawn texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, and playful branding. It also suits casual editorial callouts, greeting cards, and kid-oriented materials where a friendly, informal voice is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and personable, like casual handwriting cleaned up into a cohesive font. Its mild unevenness and rounded forms give it a warm, playful character that reads as friendly and low-pressure rather than formal or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident marker lettering while maintaining the structure of a readable rounded sans. It aims for a consistent alphabet with enough organic irregularity to feel human and relaxed, supporting expressive display typography without becoming overly decorative.
Rhythm is loose and conversational, with noticeable variation in curve tension and terminal alignment that adds charm at display sizes. Round letters (o, e, g, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the font’s soft, bubbly personality, while straighter forms (E, F, T, Z) retain a hand-rendered wobble that keeps the texture consistent across lines of text.
