A monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a deliberately handmade, constructed feel. Strokes are smooth and even, with frequent use of open joins and small gaps where curves meet stems, creating a distinctive segmented rhythm. Letterforms lean on simple geometric skeletons—circles, arcs, and straight stems—while allowing quirky asymmetries in diagonals and bowls. Counters tend to be open and airy, and the overall spacing reads relaxed rather than tightly engineered.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and short editorial callouts where its distinctive joins and rounded construction can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, but the stylized gaps and quirky geometry are most effective when given room to breathe.
The font communicates a playful, slightly retro tone that feels casual and inventive. Its broken-join detailing and rounded ends give it a friendly, approachable voice with a hint of mid-century/DIY signage character. The overall impression is lighthearted and expressive without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to offer an unconventional sans alternative that feels drawn, modular, and approachable. Its consistent monoline stroke and repeated open-join motif suggest a focus on creating a recognizable signature texture for contemporary branding and retro-leaning display typography.
Uppercase forms show particularly strong constructed traits (notably in curved letters), while lowercase maintains the same soft, segmented logic for consistency. Numerals follow the same monoline structure and rounded finishing, with simplified shapes that prioritize personality over strict neutrality.
