A slender, monoline sans with tall proportions and gently rounded terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, giving the forms a mild hand-drawn irregularity while maintaining a consistent rhythm. Counters are small-to-moderate and the overall spacing reads open and airy, with narrow letterforms and simple, clean joins. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained stroke with a lightly softened, approachable construction rather than rigid geometry.
Works well for short headlines, labels, and display settings where a narrow footprint is useful and a friendly tone is desired. It can also suit packaging, casual branding, and social media graphics, especially when set with generous line spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is informal and personable, with a light, whimsical character that feels contemporary and unpretentious. Its narrow, tall shapes create a tidy verticality, while the softened strokes keep it from feeling technical or severe.
Likely designed as a characterful everyday sans: space-saving and straightforward, but softened with rounded details to feel approachable and human. The goal appears to be a simple display/branding voice that stays clean while adding a subtle handmade charm.
In text, the narrow set and small internal spaces can make dense passages feel compact, while larger sizes emphasize its charming, slightly idiosyncratic shapes. The overall impression is clean and minimal, but with enough personality to read as intentionally casual rather than purely utilitarian.
