This typeface uses a thin, even stroke with consistently rounded terminals and gentle, drawn curves. Proportions skew tall and slender, with notably long ascenders and descenders and small lowercase bodies, creating lots of white space within and around letters. Bowls and counters are open and lightly constructed (especially in C, G, e, and s), while vertical stems stay straight and crisp; overall spacing reads loose and breathable. Figures are similarly light and linear, with simple, slightly quirky constructions that match the letterforms.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate strokes and tall proportions can breathe—headlines, posters, short brand phrases, packaging, and cover titling. It also works well for whimsical identities or lifestyle contexts where a light, personable voice is desired; for long body text, larger sizes and generous line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and airy, with a subtle hand-drawn charm that leans retro and friendly rather than technical. Its tall, spindly rhythm and rounded ends give it a whimsical, storybook-like personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a minimal sans foundation softened by rounded terminals and a slightly quirky, illustrative rhythm. It prioritizes personality and elegance in display typography, using tall proportions and small lowercase bodies to create a distinctive, airy texture.
Distinctive, elongated lowercase extenders (notably j, p, q, y) and a small x-height give text a vertical, floaty cadence. The uppercase set feels clean and minimal, while certain lowercase shapes add character through asymmetry and gentle curvature, making mixed-case typography more expressive than all-caps.
