A monoline sans with slim strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are clean and mostly geometric, but with gentle irregularities that give a lightly hand-drawn feel. Curves are generous and open, counters stay clear, and joins are smooth rather than sharp. Proportions are compact overall, with simple, readable shapes and minimal ornamentation across both uppercase and lowercase.
Works well for short to medium text in interfaces, captions, and packaging where a gentle, approachable voice is desired. It also suits posters and editorial display settings that benefit from a light, modern sans with a humanized finish, especially at larger sizes where the delicate strokes can remain clear.
The font feels lighthearted and approachable, with a calm, informal tone. Its soft curves and subtle wobble suggest a human touch without becoming playful to the point of novelty. Overall it reads as modern, friendly, and unobtrusive.
Likely designed to provide a clean everyday sans that avoids clinical rigidity by introducing soft terminals and mild hand-drawn character. The goal appears to be friendly readability with a minimalist footprint, suitable for contemporary branding and lightweight typographic systems.
Round letters like O and Q are near-circular and evenly drawn, while straight-stem letters keep a slightly softened stance due to rounded ends. The numerals match the same slender, simple construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters for mixed text settings.
