A monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and a tall, elongated build. Strokes are thin and even, with rounded terminals and smoothly drawn bowls that favor narrow ovals. The overall rhythm is loose and handwritten in feel, with slight irregularities in curvature and spacing that keep the texture lively while remaining legible. Lowercase forms sit relatively small against long ascenders/descenders, and numerals follow the same slim, rounded construction.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a personal, airy feel is desired—such as quotes, invitations, greeting cards, lifestyle packaging, and display captions. It can also serve as a light accent face paired with a sturdier text sans for hierarchy.
The tone reads light, approachable, and informal—more like neat pen lettering than a rigid geometric sans. Its slim, breezy forms give it a gentle, understated personality suited to soft, friendly messaging.
The design appears intended to capture a clean handwritten sensibility in a simple sans structure: slim strokes, rounded shapes, and a consistent slant that adds motion without becoming decorative.
Curved letters (like C, G, S, O) maintain open apertures and avoid heavy joins, helping the face stay readable despite its delicate strokes. The italic angle is steady across cases, creating a cohesive forward motion in text.
