A compact, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn-like strokes. Curves are prominent and smooth, with open apertures and simple, legible construction in both uppercase and lowercase. The forms lean toward rounded geometry, but with subtle wobble and asymmetry that keeps the rhythm informal rather than mechanical. Figures are clear and straightforward, matching the same rounded, even-stroke logic as the letters.
Works well for friendly branding, packaging, posters, and short-to-medium headlines where a personable tone is desired. It can also suit children’s or family-oriented materials and casual UI labels, especially when you want warmth without going fully decorative.
The overall tone is warm and easygoing, with a playful, human feel that reads as friendly rather than strict or technical. Its slightly imperfect smoothness suggests an approachable, everyday voice suited to lighthearted messaging.
Designed to offer a readable sans voice with rounded, softened details and a subtly hand-made rhythm, balancing clarity with a playful personality for everyday display and branding use.
Uppercase shapes are clean and simplified, while lowercase includes looped and single-storey-style constructions that reinforce the casual, handwritten impression. Spacing and stroke endings stay consistent, helping longer lines of text maintain clarity despite the informal character.
