A slender monoline sans with gently rounded strokes and softly tapered terminals. The letterforms are built from simple geometric curves but keep a hand-drawn, humanist looseness in their proportions, with slight irregularities that make lines feel less mechanical. Curves are open and generous (notably in bowls and circular forms), while verticals stay straight and spare, creating a light, spacious rhythm. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same simple, narrow construction, with compact extenders and a modest x-height that emphasizes the tall, delicate silhouette.
This face works well for short headlines, posters, and packaging where an airy, personable voice is desired. It can also suit branding accents, captions, and lightweight UI or editorial callouts, especially when a clean sans is needed with a touch of informal character.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, combining a clean, minimal structure with a subtle hand-rendered warmth. It reads as friendly and informal rather than corporate, with a gentle playfulness that suits conversational text and light branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a simple, legible sans foundation with an intentionally gentle, human feel—prioritizing openness and a light presence while keeping forms straightforward and versatile.
The design relies on consistent stroke weight and open counters for clarity, while the slightly uneven, organic geometry adds personality at display sizes. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable, supporting a smooth left-to-right flow without feeling rigid.
