A monoline, hand-drawn print style with slim strokes and an easy, slightly uneven rhythm. Letterforms are upright and generally narrow, with rounded turns, open counters, and softly tapered stroke endings that resemble quick pen lifts. Proportions lean tall with long ascenders and descenders, while the lowercase sits relatively low, creating a noticeable contrast between compact x-height and generous vertical reach. The overall texture is clean and legible, with small, natural variations in curvature and spacing that keep it from feeling mechanical.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a human, handwritten voice is desired—quotes, cards, invitations, product packaging, labels, and light promotional headlines. It’s especially effective when paired with generous leading or used at larger sizes to let the airy stroke and tall proportions breathe.
The tone is friendly and informal, like neat personal handwriting used for notes or labels. Its light, open color and gentle irregularities add a relaxed, personable feel that reads as cheerful rather than formal or authoritative.
The design appears intended to capture tidy, everyday handwriting in a lightweight print style—legible and versatile, but with enough natural variation to feel personal. It prioritizes clarity and a gentle, approachable character over strict geometric consistency.
Capitals are simple and open with minimal ornamentation, and round letters (like O and Q) stay smooth and spacious. The numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, remaining clear and unobtrusive, which helps mixed text—especially headings with numbers—feel consistent.
