A narrow, monoline sans with rounded terminals and a gently humanist construction. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with softened corners throughout, giving counters and joins a smooth, non-mechanical feel. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with modest x-height and open apertures that help letters stay clear despite the condensed width. Curves are generous and slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, while straight stems remain simple and uncluttered.
Well suited to branding systems that want a friendly, contemporary tone, as well as packaging and editorial headlines where a narrow footprint is helpful. It can also work for concise UI labels or signage when a soft, approachable look is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded detailing is most apparent.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a lighthearted softness that reads as welcoming rather than strictly technical. Rounded endings and simple geometry give it a calm, easygoing voice that can feel modern and approachable without becoming overly quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact sans with softened, rounded finishing, balancing clarity with an approachable personality. It emphasizes an easy rhythm and gentle curves to keep text feeling casual and modern while maintaining legibility in short blocks and display settings.
Distinctive rounded corners show up consistently in both uppercase and lowercase, including punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots, which appear circular. Numerals follow the same soft, monoline logic, with smooth curves and minimal angularity, helping the set feel cohesive in mixed text.
