A slim, monoline sans with gently rounded geometry and soft, slightly tapered terminals. Curves are drawn with smooth, continuous strokes and open apertures, giving letters a light, breathable rhythm. Proportions are compact and vertical, with simple construction in the lowercase and restrained, straightforward capitals. Numerals follow the same quiet, rounded logic, maintaining consistent stroke behavior and a tidy, even texture in text.
This style works well for short-to-medium text where a gentle, unobtrusive voice is desired, such as captions, UI labels, small headings, and brand side text. It also suits posters and packaging that benefit from a light, friendly texture without decorative elements.
The overall tone feels approachable and informal, like neat hand-drawn lettering translated into a consistent sans. Its light touch and soft curves keep it relaxed and contemporary rather than technical or stern.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, minimal sans with a personable, slightly hand-touched character—prioritizing clarity and a soft, modern feel over strong geometric rigidity or heavy typographic presence.
Letterforms show a mild humanist influence in their subtle irregularities and softened joins, which helps prevent the narrow proportions from feeling rigid. The light strokes and open shapes make it best appreciated at modest-to-larger sizes where the delicacy and spacing can read clearly.
