A slim, monoline sans with rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior. Forms are tall and compressed, with generous vertical rhythm and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. Curves are smooth and circular in character, while joins and verticals show slight wobble that gives the set a natural, non-mechanical feel. Uppercase letters are narrow and simple, and the lowercase maintains compact bowls with relatively short x-height and long ascenders/descenders; figures follow the same narrow, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to short-to-medium headlines, brand marks, packaging copy, and social graphics where a friendly, hand-made impression is desirable. It can also work for labels, invitations, and playful editorial callouts, especially when set with comfortable leading to complement its tall, narrow forms.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a playful, slightly whimsical personality. Its slender proportions and soft endings read as gentle rather than authoritative, lending a friendly voice that suits casual messaging and upbeat branding.
The design appears intended to blend clean sans simplicity with a hand-drawn warmth—keeping letterforms straightforward and rounded while introducing subtle irregularities for charm and approachability. Its narrow build supports compact settings and a distinctive, vertical rhythm in display use.
Spacing appears even and calm in running text, creating an airy color that stays readable at moderate sizes. The narrow proportions can emphasize verticality and save horizontal space, but the light stroke and handwritten irregularity suggest using it where personality is more important than strict neutrality at very small sizes.
