A slim, monoline sans with generous white space and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms favor simple geometric construction—open bowls, circular counters, and smooth curves—paired with occasional narrow joins and gentle asymmetries that keep the rhythm lively. Ascenders and capitals read tall and elegant, while the lowercase is notably small in relation, giving text a high-contrast vertical profile. Curves stay clean and consistent, and the overall spacing feels open, contributing to a light, refined texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its tall proportions and delicate stroke can breathe—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for short-form editorial or invitation text at comfortable sizes, where the small lowercase and open spacing help maintain clarity and a light, stylish texture.
The tone is friendly and slightly quirky, with a hand-drawn-but-controlled charm. Its tall, rounded shapes and airy cadence evoke a retro-modern sensibility—approachable, clever, and a bit whimsical rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern sans foundation while injecting personality through rounded terminals, tall proportions, and a playful lowercase. It prioritizes charm and visual rhythm for display use, aiming for an elegant yet approachable voice.
Uppercase forms present as simple and legible with rounded corners, while several lowercase letters lean toward single-storey, looped constructions that emphasize softness over rigidity. Numerals follow the same minimal, rounded logic and appear designed to blend seamlessly with the text color rather than dominate it.
