A lively sans with subtly flared terminals and noticeable stroke modulation that gives each letter a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and rounded, while joins and corners stay crisp, creating a clear silhouette at display sizes. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph—some forms run wider (notably the round letters) while others stay compact—producing an uneven, animated texture. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a simple, open “e”, and a sharp-angled “k”, reinforcing a humanist, hand-shaped construction rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where its quirky modulation and flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when you want a personable, handcrafted tone, but it will feel more decorative than neutral in long-form reading.
The overall tone feels friendly and expressive, with a vintage, hand-crafted energy. The flared ends and slightly irregular widths create a warm, informal voice that reads as approachable rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend sans simplicity with a subtly hand-cut, calligraphic finish—adding contrast and flared terminals to create a distinctive, retro-leaning display voice while keeping the letterforms broadly familiar and readable.
The capitals have a bold, sign-like presence with rounded bowls and tapered strokes that can make line color feel dynamic in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same softened, modulated logic, with a particularly rounded “8” and a slightly angled “4/7” that add character. The rhythm is intentionally less uniform, which helps personality but can draw attention to itself in dense text.
