A slim, monoline sans with rounded construction and gently softened stroke endings. The letterforms are tall and narrow, with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that feels more organic than mechanical while staying clean and legible. Curves are smooth and open (notably in bowls and counters), and vertical strokes dominate, giving the face a light, airy silhouette in text. Lowercase forms keep a compact body with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, and figures match the same narrow, simple, rounded treatment.
Well-suited for display settings where a light, personable voice is needed—posters, short headlines, packaging callouts, and brand accents. It can also work for pull quotes or small blocks of text when set large enough, especially in clean layouts that benefit from its narrow footprint and airy color.
The overall tone is approachable and mildly playful, like neat handwriting interpreted through a clean sans structure. Its light presence and narrow proportions create an understated, breezy feel, while the subtle irregularities add warmth and personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a simple, modern sans with a human touch—combining narrow, space-saving proportions with rounded, friendly shapes for casual and approachable communication.
In the sample text, the narrow set and open shapes maintain clarity at larger sizes, while the very thin strokes suggest it will read best with generous size, tracking, or ample contrast against the background. The overall texture is even and calm, with a gentle bounce that avoids strict geometric rigidity.
