A compact, clean sans with gently rounded terminals and a subtly hand-drawn regularity. Strokes show noticeable modulation—thicker verticals and lighter joins—creating a lively rhythm without becoming calligraphic. Curves are broad and slightly squarish in places, with open apertures and simplified interior shapes that keep counters clear. Uppercase forms feel tall and narrow, while lowercase shapes are compact with modest ascenders/descenders and a single-storey “a,” contributing to an easy, informal texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, short paragraphs, packaging, and brand voice applications where a friendly, slightly retro sans can add character. It can also work for editorial pull quotes and posters, especially when you want a casual tone with clear letterforms rather than a strict corporate neutrality.
The font reads as warm and approachable, with a lightly whimsical tone that suggests mid-century sign work or casual display lettering. Its soft corners and uneven-but-controlled rhythm give it a human, conversational feel, making it more personable than a purely geometric sans.
The design appears intended to provide a personable sans-serif with gentle stroke contrast and softened geometry—bridging practical readability with an intentionally informal, crafted personality for display and brand-forward typography.
The numeral set follows the same softened, slightly modulated construction; curved figures like 2, 3, and 5 lean into rounded bowls and tapered joins, while 1 and 7 stay simple and upright. Overall spacing looks comfortable in running text, and the design maintains a consistent softness across straight and curved strokes.
