A monoline sans with softly rounded strokes and gently irregular geometry that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanical. Curves are generous and open, with simple circular bowls and wide apertures that keep interior spaces clear. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly rounded, and the overall rhythm shows subtle inconsistencies in stroke endings and alignment that add warmth without sacrificing legibility. Uppercase forms are straightforward and compact, while lowercase shapes maintain a clean, readable structure with uncomplicated ascenders and descenders.
Well suited to friendly branding, casual packaging, and poster headlines where a human touch is desirable. It can also work for short to medium passages in educational materials, apps, and social graphics when a relaxed, approachable texture is preferred over a formal sans.
The letterforms convey an easygoing, personable tone—more like neat marker lettering than a strict studio sans. Its mild quirks and soft finishing give it a friendly, informal voice that feels welcoming and human.
Likely designed to offer a clean, legible sans with a handwritten flavor—prioritizing warmth and approachability while keeping forms simple and readable in continuous text.
The numerals and lowercase show the same rounded, unpretentious construction, helping text feel cohesive across mixed-case settings. Spacing appears even and calm in the sample paragraphs, supporting short reads and UI-style lines without looking rigid.
