A rounded, monoline sans with gently irregular stroke edges that mimic a marker or felt-tip draw. Curves are broad and open, with soft terminals and subtly uneven joins that keep the texture lively without hurting legibility. Proportions lean slightly wide and airy, with generous internal counters and clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, a simple straight “I” and an open, circular “O”). Numerals follow the same smooth, hand-rendered logic, with rounded bends and uncomplicated construction.
Well-suited to packaging, posters, and social media graphics where an easygoing, friendly tone is desirable. It also fits children’s and educational materials, casual branding, and short to medium-length text where a hand-made texture can add warmth without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is warm and informal, suggesting a personable, human voice rather than a polished corporate one. Its soft geometry and slight wobble read as cheerful and welcoming, lending a light, approachable character to headlines and short copy.
Likely designed to provide a clean, readable sans with a hand-drawn personality—combining straightforward letterforms with subtle organic variation to feel human and approachable in everyday design contexts.
Texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving mixed-case text a cohesive rhythm. The lowercase shows a simple, single-storey feel in several forms and maintains clarity at display sizes, while the slight irregularities add charm and reduce rigidity.
