A monoline sans with rounded, slightly irregular stroke behavior and softly tapered terminals that evoke a drawn-by-hand feel while staying clean and legible. Forms are generally simple and open, with circular counters and gentle curves; corners are eased rather than sharp. Proportions are compact with a modest x-height and a relaxed rhythm, and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, human cadence in text.
Well suited to branding and packaging where an approachable voice is desired, as well as posters, flyers, and short headlines that benefit from a casual, handcrafted impression. It also works nicely for children’s or family-oriented materials and light editorial callouts, especially at medium to large sizes where the subtle irregularity reads as intentional texture.
The overall tone is warm and personable, with a light, playful character that feels conversational rather than formal. Its mild irregularities add charm and a crafted sensibility without becoming messy, making it read as friendly and unpretentious.
The design appears intended to provide a friendly, hand-touched alternative to neutral sans fonts—maintaining simple, rounded construction for clarity while introducing small humanizing quirks for personality and warmth.
Uppercase letters keep straightforward construction, while the lowercase shows more personality through rounded bowls, single-storey shapes, and softly hooked descenders. Numerals follow the same gentle, rounded logic, with smooth curves and consistent line weight that maintains an even color in short passages.
