A very thin, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular stroke behavior that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically perfect. Curves are built from clean, simple arcs (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while straight strokes stay slightly organic, producing a subtle wobble in stems and diagonals. Proportions are generally narrow-to-normal with a tall lowercase structure; counters are open and spacious, and spacing feels loose and breathable. The overall texture is light and quiet, with a consistent line weight and minimal detailing.
Works well for short headlines, display copy, and branding moments where an informal, human feel is desired—such as packaging, labels, posters, and social graphics. It can also serve in brief UI or editorial accents when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its light stroke presence.
The tone is approachable and informal, with a sketchbook simplicity that feels playful without becoming decorative. Its light touch and rounded forms give it a gentle, friendly voice suited to relaxed messaging and human-centric branding.
The design appears intended to capture the clarity of a straightforward sans while introducing a subtle hand-drawn personality through slight irregularities, rounded terminals, and uncomplicated geometric construction. It aims for warmth and approachability rather than strict precision.
The thin strokes and delicate joins make it better suited to larger sizes or high-contrast backgrounds, where its airy texture and open counters stay intact. Numerals are simple and readable, matching the same understated, hand-made rhythm as the letters.
