A monoline sans with gently irregular construction and a subtly hand-drawn feel. Strokes are slim and even, with softly rounded joins and occasional angled terminals that give letters a slightly unsettled, lively rhythm. Proportions run on the compact side with open apertures in forms like C, S, e, and s, while bowls (O, o, 8) stay clean and fairly round. Distinctive details include a single‑storey a and g, a looped descender on q, and numerals that lean toward simple, humanist shapes rather than geometric rigidity.
Best suited to short-to-medium runs of text where a friendly voice is desired: headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and brand accents. It can work for UI labels or captions when you want a casual tone, but the animated rhythm is more at home in display and editorial settings than in long-form body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, reading as approachable rather than corporate. Its slight irregularities and buoyant curves suggest a conversational, handmade character—more playful and expressive than strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to offer a clean sans foundation with deliberate, hand-touched quirks—keeping legibility and simple structure while injecting warmth and individuality through terminals, curves, and slightly idiosyncratic letterforms.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally a bit lively, which can add charm in display sizes but may feel less restrained in dense paragraphs. The uppercase has a light, airy presence, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its loops and angled stroke endings.
