A monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn-like curves that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Uppercase forms are simple and open, with circular bowls and smooth joins; the overall spacing feels airy and the stroke endings stay blunt rather than sharply cut. Lowercase characters carry a casual humanist flavor, including a single-storey “a” and “g,” compact shoulders on “m/n,” and lightly curved descenders, giving text a relaxed texture while remaining legible.
Works well for short-to-medium reading settings where a warm, approachable sans is desired, such as app UI labels, educational materials, and product packaging. It can also serve effectively in headlines and posters when a light, friendly tone is important, while staying clear enough for captions and supporting text.
The tone is friendly and informal, suggesting a personable, everyday voice rather than a strict corporate one. Its soft curves and slightly quirky proportions add a hint of playfulness that feels welcoming and unpretentious.
Designed to deliver a clean sans foundation with softened geometry and subtle human irregularity, aiming for an accessible, conversational feel. The consistent monoline strokes and rounded terminals prioritize clarity while adding character suited to friendly branding and informal communication.
Numerals are straightforward and readable, with rounded forms (notably 0/8/9) and simple construction that matches the letterforms. The font maintains consistent stroke behavior across glyphs, and the overall silhouette leans toward gentle curves over rigid geometry.
