A monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn geometry. Curves are smooth and open, with modestly squared-off joins in places (notably in capitals like E and F), creating a simple, uncluttered rhythm. Proportions feel compact with relatively tight letter widths and generous interior counters; round letters (O, Q, e) read as slightly oval rather than perfectly circular. Overall spacing and stroke consistency keep the texture even, while subtle wobble and asymmetric details prevent it from feeling mechanical.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, approachable voice is desired, such as UI labels, product packaging, educational materials, and casual editorial layouts. Its clean construction also supports display use in headings and posters when a warm, human tone is preferred over a strictly geometric look.
The tone is friendly and informal, combining a clean sans foundation with a lightly human, sketch-like warmth. It reads as approachable and modern without feeling sterile, giving text a conversational, easygoing character.
The design appears intended to provide an easy-reading sans with a subtle hand-rendered character, balancing clarity with a relaxed, personable finish. It aims for everyday versatility while adding just enough quirks in terminals and curves to feel informal and inviting.
Distinctive details include a simple, straight-sided capital I, a single-storey lowercase a and g, and a curved, hook-like tail on Q that adds personality. Numerals maintain the same soft, rounded construction, with an open, handwritten feel that stays legible in running text.
