A lively, humanist sans with subtly flared stroke endings and gentle stroke modulation that gives a drawn, calligraphic feel without becoming a true serif. Curves are broad and rounded, while vertical strokes often show slight tapering and swelling, creating a rhythmic, brush-like texture across words. Proportions feel open and readable, with generous counters and a slightly irregular, hand-shaped consistency that adds personality. Numerals follow the same soft, modulated construction, staying clear at text sizes while retaining the font’s organic character.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a friendly, distinctive voice is desired. It’s also well suited to packaging and branding that want an artisanal or approachable tone, plus posters and display settings where the lively stroke rhythm can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a storybook friendliness and a lightly whimsical energy. It suggests craft, charm, and informality more than strict neutrality, making text feel conversational and inviting.
Likely designed to provide a readable sans foundation while injecting warmth through calligraphic modulation and flared terminals. The intent appears to be versatility for contemporary layouts with a more human, handcrafted voice than a purely neutral sans.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into small, wedge-like flares rather than blunt cuts, which adds sparkle in headings and a textured color in paragraphs. The lowercase shows especially strong personality, with curved joins and subtly varied stroke thickness that reads as intentionally hand-influenced rather than mechanically uniform.
