A monoline, rounded sans with soft geometry and gently tapered joins that keep the texture light and airy. Curves dominate the construction, with circular bowls and open apertures, while straighter strokes stay slim and clean. Proportions feel condensed overall, with tall ascenders and descenders adding vertical rhythm and giving the lowercase a slightly wiry, animated presence. Numerals follow the same rounded logic, with smooth, open counters and a consistent stroke presence that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short passages, and identity work where character matters: posters, packaging, book covers, and branded messaging. The rounded construction and clear counters keep it legible, but its personality reads strongest at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and lightly eccentric, mixing geometric clarity with a hand-drawn looseness. It suggests a retro display sensibility—approachable rather than formal—suited to expressive headlines and charming brand voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a geometric, rounded sans voice with a touch of whimsy, balancing clean monoline construction with distinctive, lively letterforms for expressive display typography.
The caps are clean and simplified, while the lowercase carries more personality through narrow forms, open curves, and distinctive terminals, creating a pleasant contrast between straightforward structure and playful detail. Spacing appears even in sample text, supporting a smooth line flow despite the condensed proportions.
