A slim, clean sans with a hand-drawn feel, built from consistently thin strokes and softly rounded terminals. Forms are tall and compact, with gentle curvature and slightly irregular geometry that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Counters are open and simple, with single-storey lowercase shapes and a narrow overall footprint that makes lines look airy. Numerals follow the same casual construction, with straightforward, legible silhouettes and rounded joins.
Well-suited for short headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a friendly handwritten accent is wanted. It also fits children’s materials, classroom worksheets, invitations, and greeting cards, especially at medium to large sizes where the narrow, rounded forms stay clear and expressive.
The tone is approachable and upbeat, suggesting an easygoing, personal voice rather than a formal or corporate one. Its narrow, bouncy proportions and rounded endings give it a lighthearted, kid-friendly warmth that reads as conversational and handmade.
The design appears intended to mimic neat marker or pen lettering in a simplified sans structure—prioritizing approachability, quick readability, and a casual, human presence while maintaining a consistent, tidy stroke system.
Stroke endings tend to be fully rounded rather than blunt, and several letters show subtle asymmetry typical of drawn lettering. The compact width can increase perceived spacing at larger sizes, while at smaller sizes the thin strokes and narrow shapes may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing.
