A rounded, monoline sans with softly tapered, brush-like stroke endings and gently uneven curves that introduce a subtle hand-made rhythm. Counters are open and generous, with simple geometric construction kept intentionally loose: bowls are slightly irregular, joins are smooth, and terminals remain consistently rounded. Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible, while the lowercase adds more character through single-storey shapes and relaxed proportions that keep text airy at display sizes.
Well suited to branding systems that need an approachable, human tone—such as boutiques, cafes, personal projects, and lifestyle packaging. It also performs nicely for posters, headings, quotes, and social media graphics where its rounded, hand-drawn character can be a feature. For longer passages, it’s best used at comfortable sizes where the gentle irregularities read as intentional texture rather than noise.
The overall tone is warm and personable, leaning toward a friendly handwritten feel without becoming overly decorative. Its soft terminals and easy spacing give it a light, conversational voice suited to upbeat and informal messaging.
The design appears intended to merge the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of hand lettering, using rounded terminals and subtle irregularity to feel personal while staying highly readable. The goal is likely a versatile, friendly display-and-short-text face that brings softness and informality to modern layouts.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “a” and “g,” a curled “j” descender, and rounded numerals that match the letterforms’ soft modulation. The cap forms keep a calm, simple structure, while the lowercase contributes most of the charm through slightly varied curvature and stroke behavior.
