A compact, monolinear sans with rounded contours and slightly irregular stroke edges that read as hand-rendered rather than mechanically perfect. Curves are built from simple, softened shapes with gently flattened terminals, and corners tend to be blunted instead of sharply squared. Proportions run tight and efficient, with narrow letter bodies and modest apertures in letters like C, S, and e, creating a dense, even color in text. The lowercase shows straightforward, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple bowls, while the numerals follow the same sturdy, simplified construction.
Well suited to packaging, labels, menus, posters, and branding that benefits from a handmade, approachable sans. It also works for short paragraphs, pull quotes, and UI-style microcopy when a casual, human tone is desired, especially at medium to larger sizes where the rounded forms and texture remain clear.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a mild craft/marker feel coming from the subtle unevenness and softened geometry. It comes across as approachable and slightly quirky without becoming chaotic, balancing legibility with personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a simple, rounded sans structure with a deliberately handmade finish—prioritizing warmth and character while keeping the letterforms straightforward and readable. It aims to feel contemporary and friendly rather than strictly technical or corporate.
Spacing and rhythm feel compact, which helps it hold together in blocks of copy, though the narrow counters and closed shapes can make it look darker at smaller sizes. The punctuation and basic shapes maintain the same rounded, hand-cut texture, supporting a consistent voice across headings and short text.
