A slanted, monoline sans with rounded terminals and softly inflated curves. Letterforms are built from open, circular counters and smooth joins, with a gentle handwritten irregularity that keeps strokes from feeling mechanically uniform. Proportions lean wide and airy in round letters, while diagonals and stems keep a consistent, even thickness. The numeral set follows the same rounded, casual construction, with clear, simple silhouettes and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to casual branding, packaging, and promotional graphics where a warm, approachable tone is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, short paragraphs, and social media graphics, and can add a friendly voice to UI labels when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, reading like neat marker or felt-tip handwriting translated into a clean sans. It feels contemporary and friendly rather than formal, lending a conversational, easygoing voice to headlines and short text.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the charm of informal handwriting, offering an italic-leaning voice that feels lively and human without becoming overly decorative.
Curves dominate the design, and many terminals finish with subtle soft hooks or tapered-feeling ends that enhance the handwritten impression without introducing true calligraphic contrast. Spacing appears generous in the sample text, supporting an open rhythm and good flow in mixed-case settings.
