A light, rounded print style with monolinear strokes and softly curved terminals. Proportions lean wide with generous sidebearings, producing an airy texture and a relaxed rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and open, with simple, slightly irregular shapes that retain consistent construction across the set. Figures follow the same gentle, open forms, with a notably curved-foot "2" and a single-storey feel to several shapes.
Well suited to friendly branding, packaging, and poster headlines where an informal, human tone is desired. It can also work for children’s and lifestyle applications, short UI labels, and pull quotes, especially when set with ample spacing. For longer text, its wide proportions are best used at comfortable sizes where the open counters remain clear.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, suggesting quick hand-drawn lettering that has been cleaned up for repeatable use. Its openness and soft endings make it feel gentle and approachable rather than rigid or technical. The wide stance and loose spacing add a calm, unhurried personality.
The design appears intended to capture the warmth of casual print handwriting while staying clean and legible in typeset lines. Its wide proportions, open shapes, and softened terminals emphasize approachability and ease over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase forms are straightforward and readable, while lowercase includes distinctive, casual details such as looped or hooked descenders and soft joins. The design maintains clarity at display sizes, with counters kept open and strokes avoiding sharp corners, which reinforces the handwritten impression.
