A casual sans with gently irregular contours and a lightly wavy baseline feel, giving the letterforms a drawn, human rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtly swelling curves and softened terminals, favoring rounded joins over sharp geometry. Counters are open and generous, and many shapes lean into slightly uneven widths and offbeat proportions, which creates a lively, “cut-paper” silhouette in text. Uppercase forms are simple and sturdy, while lowercase introduces more character through playful bowls and asymmetric curves.
Well-suited to display roles such as posters, packaging, headlines, and brand marks that want a friendly, informal voice. It can also work for short bursts of text—captions, pull quotes, or product messaging—where a bit of typographic character and warmth is desirable.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a quirky, slightly mischievous personality. Its irregularity reads as intentional and expressive rather than rough, evoking handmade signage, children’s materials, or casual editorial voices. The texture in running text feels animated and conversational.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable sans alternative with visible human touch—balancing legibility with deliberate irregularity to signal informality and charm. It prioritizes personality and rhythm over strict geometric consistency, aiming to feel lively in both all-caps and mixed-case text.
In paragraphs, the varying glyph widths and subtly inconsistent curves create a distinctive color and rhythm; this works best when that texture is a feature rather than a distraction. The numerals and caps carry the same softened, informal construction, helping maintain cohesion across mixed-case settings.
