A monoline sans with gently rounded strokes and softly tapered terminals, giving the outlines a hand-drawn steadiness rather than geometric precision. Curves are open and generous, with simple construction and minimal detailing; bowls and counters stay roomy even in compact letters. Proportions feel tall and slightly condensed, while spacing remains even and readable in continuous text. Numerals and letters share the same light, clean stroke and consistent corner-rounding, producing an overall airy texture.
Works well for short paragraphs, captions, and interface labels where a light, friendly tone is desired. It also suits educational materials, casual packaging, and posters or headlines at moderate sizes where its airy stroke and rounded forms can stay crisp.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a calm, slightly whimsical tone that feels personal without becoming messy. Its soft curves and simple shapes lend a warm, approachable voice suited to conversational copy and light-hearted branding.
Designed to provide a simple, approachable sans with a subtle hand-rendered character—clean enough for everyday text, yet warm and personable in tone.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 are notably open and smooth, reinforcing the font’s gentle rhythm. Ascenders and capitals maintain a clean, uncluttered silhouette, and the overall color on the page stays light and spacious at larger sizes.
