A rounded sans with softly tapered strokes and subtly irregular curves that give it a lightly hand-drawn feel. The design favors tall, narrow proportions and generous internal counters, with rounded terminals throughout and minimal angularity. Curves are smooth and slightly asymmetric, and the lowercase shows compact ascenders with simple, clean joins that keep forms open and readable. Numerals follow the same softened construction, with rounded corners and steady stroke rhythm that stays consistent across sizes.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and editorial pull quotes where a friendly, vintage-tinged voice is desirable. It can also work for interface labels or signage when set with comfortable spacing, especially in contexts that benefit from warmth over strict neutrality.
The overall tone is warm and informal, mixing a clean sans structure with a touch of quirkiness. It feels vintage-leaning and personable rather than technical, suggesting everyday friendliness and a relaxed voice. The slightly idiosyncratic curves add charm without tipping into novelty.
Likely intended to provide a clean, readable sans base softened by rounded terminals and subtle irregularity, creating an approachable personality for display use. The narrow proportions and consistent rhythm suggest it’s designed to fit comfortably in compact headline lines while retaining charm and clarity.
The font maintains clear character differentiation through distinct silhouettes (notably in rounded bowls and open apertures), and it performs best when its soft terminals and narrow stance can be appreciated. In longer text, the gentle irregularity reads as human and approachable, while the consistent stroke weight keeps it cohesive.
