A clean monoline sans with gently rounded terminals and a soft, slightly quirky geometry. Strokes keep an even thickness while curves are drawn broadly, giving counters an open, airy feel. Proportions lean humanist with subtle irregularities in joins and diagonals, and several glyphs show distinctive construction choices (notably the hooked descenders and simplified bowls), which adds character without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same rounded, open approach, with simple, legible shapes and a relaxed rhythm across a line of text.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefits from a personable, modern-retro voice, as well as posters and display headlines where its quirks can be appreciated. It can also work for short text in signage or editorial callouts, where clarity and friendliness are both desirable.
The overall tone is warm and informal, reading as friendly and lightly retro rather than strictly technical. Its rounded strokes and open counters suggest approachability and ease, while the idiosyncratic letter constructions add a playful, handmade-adjacent charm.
Designed to provide a straightforward sans framework while introducing recognizable character through rounded terminals and atypical but consistent letter construction. The intent appears to balance legibility with a distinctive, approachable flavor for contemporary design use.
The font’s personality comes through in repeated, consistent rounding and in the slightly unconventional detailing on certain letters, which makes it more distinctive than a neutral UI sans. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, supporting smooth word shapes and an even texture at paragraph size.
