A slender, monoline sans with a gentle rightward slant and rounded, soft terminals. Curves are drawn as simple, continuous strokes with open counters and minimal modulation, giving the letters a clean, airy texture. Proportions feel condensed with tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm is lightly irregular in a way that resembles tidy handwriting rather than strict geometric construction.
It works well for short headlines, captions, labels, and small blocks of display text where a casual, human voice is desired. The condensed feel can help fit longer words into tighter spaces, making it useful for packaging callouts, social graphics, and lightweight poster titling.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a relaxed, conversational tone. Its light footprint and smooth curves keep it from feeling loud or rigid, lending a friendly, easygoing character suited to warm messaging.
The design appears intended to capture a neat handwritten sensibility in a simple sans structure—prioritizing friendliness and economy of space while keeping forms clear and consistent across letters and numerals.
Caps are narrow and simple, while lowercase forms lean more handwritten, with single-storey shapes and looping descenders that add charm. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded construction and appear designed to blend unobtrusively with text.
