A delicate, open sans with generous spacing and a slightly humanist construction. Strokes are thin overall with noticeable modulation at curves and joins, creating a contrasted, drawn quality rather than a purely mechanical monoline. Terminals tend to be rounded or softly tapered, bowls are smooth and somewhat oval, and many forms favor openness (notably in C, S, and e) for clarity. Uppercase letters read clean and wide, while lowercase forms keep a simple, single-storey approach where applicable, maintaining an even rhythm across words.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and openness can breathe—headlines, logos, short brand statements, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for UI or signage at comfortable sizes, especially where a light, refined tone is desired rather than dense text color.
The font conveys a light, contemporary tone with a friendly, slightly playful edge. Its thin strokes and rounded finishing give it an airy, gentle presence that feels informal and approachable while still staying clean and modern.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, contemporary sans with a distinctive hand-drawn contrast, offering a recognizable voice without relying on overt ornament. It aims for a balance of modern clarity and gentle personality through open shapes, rounded terminals, and subtle stroke modulation.
The design mixes geometric simplicity with subtle calligraphic cues, especially where curves thicken and thin through turns. Numerals follow the same airy logic, with smooth, open shapes that prioritize elegance over heavy readability at tiny sizes.
