A spare, monoline sans with rounded bowls and generous interior counters. Strokes are extremely thin and even, with a lightly hand-drawn feel created by subtle irregularities and occasional doubled/parallel strokes on some stems and curves. Terminals are mostly open and clean, with simple geometry and soft curvature rather than sharp joins. Proportions lean tall and compact, keeping forms narrow while maintaining clear, legible shapes across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where the fine stroke can remain visible—headlines, short passages, branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a light, airy texture. It can add a handcrafted, minimal accent in layouts, especially when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The overall tone is airy and gentle, with a quiet whimsy that feels sketch-like and informal. Its light presence reads as understated and refined rather than bold, giving text a soft, contemporary character.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, modern sans foundation with a sketchy, human touch, prioritizing delicacy and openness over density. The consistent thin stroke and rounded construction suggest an emphasis on elegant lightness and a distinctive, slightly whimsical rhythm in setting.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize smooth circular construction, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and minimal. The figures are simple and consistent in stroke behavior, and the light line weight creates a strong sense of white space in words and lines.
