A softly rounded sans with subtly uneven stroke edges and gently inconsistent geometry that reads as intentionally hand-drawn. Curves are open and generous, terminals tend to be rounded or lightly tapered, and several glyphs show small angle shifts that introduce a mild wobble to verticals and diagonals. Counters are clear and fairly open, while proportions vary slightly from character to character, creating an organic rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same informal construction with smooth curves and modest, humanistic proportions.
Well-suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a friendly, handcrafted voice, as well as posters and short headlines where the playful irregularity can be a feature. It can also work for children’s or casual editorial applications, especially at display or comfortable reading sizes where the organic texture remains clear.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a lightly whimsical, handmade feel rather than a strict, mechanical polish. It suggests informality and ease, making text feel conversational and approachable while still remaining legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, sans foundation with a deliberately human, hand-rendered finish—prioritizing warmth and personality over geometric precision.
Uppercase forms keep a simple sans structure but often show small quirks in symmetry and stroke alignment that add character. In running text, these micro-variations create a lively texture, so spacing and rhythm feel more naturalistic than rigidly uniform.
