A slender, monoline sans with rounded bowls and gently irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes maintain an even weight with soft, slightly tapered terminals and subtly wobbly curves that keep the texture lively without becoming chaotic. Proportions feel compact, with relatively small lowercase compared to capitals, generous counters, and open apertures that help letters stay readable. The overall spacing and widths vary a bit from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, organic voice.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where a friendly, informal texture is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, invitations, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It can also work for UI labels or captions when you want a warm, human feel, provided sizes are generous to preserve its delicate strokes.
The tone is approachable and lightly playful, like neat marker lettering or a casual handwritten caption refined into a consistent alphabet. Its softness and mild irregularity give it warmth and personality, making it feel personable rather than technical or corporate.
The font appears designed to deliver a clean sans foundation with the charm of hand lettering—prioritizing approachability and character while keeping letterforms simple and legible for everyday display use.
The design leans on simple geometric construction—round O/Q forms, straightforward E/F/T arms—tempered by humanist shaping and small asymmetries. Numerals share the same easygoing, rounded construction, keeping the set cohesive in mixed alphanumeric contexts.
