A soft, humanist sans with gently flared terminals and subtle stroke modulation that gives it a hand-touched, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and round, counters are open, and joins are smooth, producing a warm rhythm in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, while capitals are slightly varied in width and stance, adding a mild, organic unevenness without looking distressed. Overall spacing reads comfortable and airy, with clear, sturdy forms and rounded punctuation-like details such as the dotted i/j.
Works well for editorial layouts, branding systems, and packaging where a warm, human voice is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads with personality, and it remains readable in short-to-medium passages such as blurbs, menus, and marketing copy. Its rounded rhythm also suits posters and display settings where a friendly, crafted tone is helpful.
The tone is friendly and slightly quirky, with an informal warmth that feels conversational rather than corporate. Its softly flared endings and rounded shapes lend a storybook, craft, or café-menu personality while staying clean enough for everyday use. The overall impression is approachable and lively, with a gentle vintage nod but not overtly historical.
Likely designed to provide a clean sans foundation softened by calligraphic cues—flared terminals, rounded bowls, and gentle modulation—to achieve an approachable, characterful texture in text. The aim appears to balance readability with a distinctive, informal voice suitable for modern branding and editorial applications.
Several letters show distinctive, personality-forward silhouettes (notably the s, e, and g) that create a recognizable texture in paragraphs. Numerals are clear and fairly wide, with a smooth, rounded construction that matches the letters and maintains consistent color in running text.
