A clean, rounded sans with a monoline feel and gently irregular, hand-drawn construction. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while corners and joins soften into curves, giving letters a slightly wobble-informed rhythm rather than strict geometric precision. Counters are open and generous (notably in C, O, e), terminals are mostly rounded, and proportions lean narrow-to-moderate with simple, uncluttered forms. The lowercase includes single-storey a and g, a tall, simple t, and a looped q descender; figures are straightforward and airy with curved 2/3 and an open 4.
Well-suited to friendly headlines, posters, packaging, and social media graphics where an informal, human touch is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels or pull quotes when a warm tone is needed, though its light stroke and hand-drawn irregularity make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like neat marker lettering or a lightly sketched print hand. It feels approachable and optimistic, with a relaxed cadence that reads as personable rather than corporate or technical.
Designed to mimic tidy hand lettering in a clean sans framework—prioritizing approachability, simplicity, and open shapes over strict geometric uniformity. The goal appears to be a versatile casual display face that stays readable while retaining personality.
Capitals maintain clear silhouettes with minimal ornament, while certain glyphs show subtle idiosyncrasies (e.g., the angled leg on R, the diagonal tail on Q, and the slightly varied curvature across S and G) that reinforce the handmade character. The sample text shows comfortable readability at display and short-text sizes, with a light, airy color on the page.
