A light, narrow sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—open bowls, circular counters, and smooth curves—while retaining slight irregularities that keep the texture human and relaxed. Proportions are compact with a straightforward cap height and a normal-feeling x-height; spacing reads even and uncluttered, supporting clear word shapes. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded logic and sit comfortably with the lowercase rhythm.
It works well for UI labels, short paragraphs, and captions where a light, unobtrusive voice is needed, especially at moderate sizes. The friendly tone also suits editorial sidebars, lifestyle branding, and packaging or product copy that benefits from an approachable, slightly handmade texture.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a mild hand-drawn character that feels approachable rather than strictly technical. Its restrained stroke weight and rounded shaping give it a light, contemporary warmth suitable for conversational typography.
The design appears aimed at providing a clean sans foundation with softened geometry and a touch of informal character, balancing everyday readability with a gentle, personable voice.
Distinctive details include a single-storey lowercase “a,” open apertures, and curved joins that avoid sharp corners. The uppercase set stays simple and legible, while the lowercase adds more personality through softened shoulders and subtly varied curve tension.
