A very light, monolinear sans with rounded, softly irregular forms and a noticeably calligraphic stroke finish. Curves dominate the construction, with narrow joins and gently tapered terminals that often come to fine points, giving letters an inked, pen-made feel despite the overall sans structure. Bowls and counters are open and generous, while vertical strokes are slender and slightly elastic in rhythm, producing a lively, variable silhouette across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same airy line weight, with simple, rounded shapes and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its thin strokes and tapered endings can stay crisp—such as headlines, titles, packaging, invitations, and brand marks that want a friendly, handcrafted voice. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, but the very light build suggests avoiding dense body text or low-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, balancing elegance with a playful, handmade charm. The thin strokes and pointed endings add a subtle sense of finesse, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and informal.
The font appears designed to deliver a casual handwritten impression within a clean sans framework, emphasizing lightness, rounded readability, and expressive terminals for a distinctive display voice.
The design favors smooth continuity over strict geometric precision, so repeated shapes (like bowls and arches) feel organically varied rather than mechanically identical. This gives text a gentle shimmer in longer lines and makes individual words feel distinctive at display sizes.
