A clean monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, humanist geometry. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls, while straight strokes stay even and slightly relaxed, giving letters a hand-drawn steadiness without looking rough. Proportions are compact and narrow with open counters, and the overall rhythm is light and airy; joins and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) are crisp but never sharp, maintaining a softened silhouette.
Well suited to UI labels, app interfaces, and short-form reading where a soft, approachable sans is desired. It also works nicely for light branding, packaging, and editorial side elements that benefit from a casual voice. In larger sizes it can serve as a friendly display accent for headlines, posters, or product messaging.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a mild quirky charm that keeps it from feeling corporate or rigid. Its rounded endings and open shapes read as welcoming and conversational, making text feel approachable and contemporary.
Likely designed to provide a straightforward, legible sans that feels warmer than a strict geometric, using rounded terminals and gentle proportions to create an inviting everyday text and display companion.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms and minimal modulation, which helps maintain clarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, even-stroke logic and blend naturally with the letters in running text, reinforcing a consistent, easygoing texture.
