A slanted, monoline sans with rounded terminals and a soft, humanist construction. Curves are smooth and generous, with open apertures and slightly elastic proportions that give the alphabet an uneven, hand-drawn rhythm without looking rough. Stroke endings are subtly tapered or angled rather than blunt, and counters stay clear in both upper- and lowercase. Numerals follow the same relaxed, rounded logic, with simple, legible shapes that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to branding systems that want a friendly, modern voice, as well as packaging, posters, and headlines where the slant can add energy. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and signage when a casual, approachable tone is desired.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with an informal momentum created by the consistent slant and buoyant curves. It reads as contemporary and conversational rather than technical or austere, making text feel personable and light on its feet.
The typeface appears designed to blend the clarity of a clean sans with the warmth of italicized, handwriting-adjacent motion. Its rounded terminals and open forms suggest an intention to stay readable while feeling informal and expressive.
The design leans on circular and elliptical geometry for bowls and counters, while diagonals and joins keep a slightly calligraphic flow. Spacing appears moderate, supporting readability while preserving the lively, slightly irregular cadence of the letterforms.
