A monoline sans with tall proportions and softly rounded geometry. Strokes are consistently thin and smooth, with gentle curves and slightly inclined construction that gives the forms a light forward motion. Counters are open and generous, terminals tend toward rounded or softly tapered endings, and the overall rhythm is calm and evenly spaced, favoring clarity over density.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a light, refined line can be appreciated—such as headlines, branding, packaging, invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It works particularly well in spacious layouts and on light backgrounds, where its thin strokes and open forms maintain readability.
The font reads as airy and approachable, with a subtle handwritten ease that keeps it from feeling mechanical. Its light, buoyant presence suggests a contemporary, friendly tone—more personal and informal than strictly corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a minimalist, modern sans voice with a gentle, human touch—combining simple geometric construction with subtle softening to feel welcoming and contemporary.
The uppercase set is clean and simplified, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved joins and looped shapes, creating a pleasant contrast between structured caps and softer text forms. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded logic and remain legible at display sizes, with a graceful, lightly stylized silhouette.
