A slanted, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior. Curves are generous and open, with circular counters and simplified joins that keep forms clean and readable. The rhythm is airy with modest spacing, and letterforms show subtle wobble and tapered-feel endings that suggest a quick, confident marker or pen rather than rigid geometry.
Works well for packaging, café or boutique signage, posters, and social graphics where an approachable handwritten feel is desired. It also suits short headlines, pull quotes, and friendly UI labels, and can perform in brief text where a relaxed, personal tone is more important than strict formality.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a playful, human cadence that feels personal without becoming messy. Its easygoing slant and rounded shapes give it a relaxed, friendly voice suited to upbeat, everyday communication.
Designed to provide a clean, modern handwritten alternative to standard sans text, blending simple sans construction with natural pen-like movement. The intent appears to be an easy-to-read, personable style that adds warmth and informality while staying visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent casual construction, with single-storey lowercase forms and a straightforward, handwritten sensibility. Numerals match the same informal tempo, keeping curves smooth and terminals soft for a cohesive text color in short passages.
