A monoline sans with tall, slim proportions and softly rounded terminals. The strokes stay consistently thin with gentle curve transitions, producing an even, airy texture in lines of text. Letterforms lean toward simple geometric skeletons but with intentionally irregular rhythm: bowls are narrow, counters are small, and several characters show slight asymmetries that feel hand-drawn rather than mechanically rigid. Descenders are relatively long and the lowercase sits low, reinforcing a delicate, spindly silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where a playful, handmade voice is desired—posters, short headlines, packaging accents, invitations, and whimsical branding. It can work for brief text in larger sizes, especially when given extra tracking and leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is lighthearted and informal, with a quirky, storybook charm. Its narrow, tall letters and rounded finishes create a friendly presence that reads as personable and a bit eccentric rather than corporate or strictly modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, friendly sans that feels hand-rendered and characterful while remaining clean and monoline. Its tall, narrow construction and rounded terminals prioritize charm and personality over dense, utilitarian text setting.
Round letters like O and Q are vertically stretched, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) are thin and crisp, giving the font a wiry energy. The numerals keep the same slender, rounded approach, with open curves and simple construction that matches the alphabet. In longer text, the tight counters and narrow forms can make spacing feel compact, so it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
