A rounded sans with thick, blunt-ended strokes and softly irregular contours that read as hand-rendered rather than mechanically perfect. Curves are generously swollen and slightly wobbly, with small variations in stroke edge and width that create a natural, inked texture. Counters are open and round, and terminals tend to be flattened or softly squared, keeping forms sturdy and readable. Overall spacing and proportions feel comfortable and slightly loose, supporting an easy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for short-to-medium display text such as posters, packaging, storefront-style branding, and editorial headlines where a friendly, handcrafted feel is desired. It can also serve as a supporting text face in casual applications—labels, invitations, or social graphics—when a neutral sans would feel too sterile.
The font conveys an approachable, homemade tone—warm, unpretentious, and a little playful. Its subtle roughness and unevenness suggest craft, drawing, or printmaking, giving text a personable voice without becoming overly decorative.
Likely intended to deliver a clean, legible sans structure with a deliberately handmade finish, balancing readability with a crafted, human touch for expressive everyday design.
Letterforms stay simple and largely geometric, but the hand-cut irregularity adds character across stems and bowls. Numerals and capitals match the same blunt, rounded construction, keeping the set cohesive for mixed text and display lines.
