A slanted, monoline sans with rounded construction and softly tapered, brush-like terminals. Letterforms are open and simplified, with gently irregular stroke behavior that mimics quick marker handwriting while keeping consistent overall proportions. Curves are broad and smooth, counters are roomy, and joins stay clean without sharp corners, giving the alphabet an easy rhythm across mixed case and figures.
Works well where an informal, human voice is desired: small brands, packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also suit short UI accents or headings when a friendly handwritten feel is more important than strict typographic formality.
The tone is warm and personal, like neat handwriting on a note or classroom handout. Its slight wobble and soft endings keep it relaxed and human, while the clear shapes prevent it from feeling messy. Overall it reads as friendly, lighthearted, and conversational.
The design appears intended to provide a legible, approachable handwritten alternative to a plain sans, combining casual marker-like strokes with disciplined, readable shapes for everyday display text.
Uppercase forms stay straightforward and rounded, while lowercase adds more personality through varied ascenders/descenders and looped shapes. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with simple, rounded silhouettes that match the letterforms and maintain an even, handwritten texture in running text.
