A tall, compact sans with a consistent monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals throughout. The forms are simplified and open, with generous counters and minimal contrast, giving the letters a light visual footprint. Uppercase shapes are narrow and vertical, while lowercase retains a straightforward, single‑storey construction (notably a and g), contributing to an easy rhythm. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded logic, with smooth curves and modest detailing.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where a friendly, compact voice is helpful—such as UI labels, app headings, posters, and packaging callouts. Its slim proportions can fit more characters per line while maintaining legibility in larger sizes, making it useful for headings, captions, and brand accents in playful or lifestyle contexts.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a subtle hand-drawn feel created by the softened ends and slightly quirky proportions. It reads as modern and friendly rather than technical, bringing a light, upbeat character to text without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, contemporary sans with softened edges and a personable, hand-made warmth. By combining narrow proportions with rounded terminals and simple constructions, it aims to stay readable and space-efficient while projecting an inviting, casual tone.
The narrow set width produces a compact texture in paragraphs, while the rounded terminals keep tight spacing from feeling sharp or cramped. Curves are prominent and smooth, and many joins are simplified, emphasizing clarity and charm over strict geometric precision.
