A narrow, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a lightly hand-drawn, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes maintain consistent weight with gentle curves and occasional tapered joins, giving forms a springy, informal texture while staying legible. Proportions feel compact and tall, with small counters and a notably short lowercase x-height relative to the ascenders. Curved letters (C, O, S) read smooth and open, while verticals (I, l, t) are slender and prominent; numerals match the same rounded, simplified construction.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a personable voice is desired, such as posters, playful branding, packaging, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also work for UI labels or captions when a friendly, informal tone is more important than a strictly neutral appearance.
The overall tone is friendly and lightly quirky, evoking casual handwriting and DIY charm rather than strict geometric precision. Its narrow build and soft ends keep it approachable and tidy, making it feel youthful and conversational without becoming noisy.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, narrow sans framework infused with hand-drawn warmth—balancing simplicity and legibility with rounded terminals and gentle irregularities to create an approachable, characterful texture.
Distinctive features include a tall, narrow stance across most glyphs and a consistent rounded finishing that prevents hard corners. The sample text shows stable spacing and a cohesive texture in continuous reading, with a lively baseline feel driven by subtle shape variation rather than contrast.
