A slanted, rounded sans with a smooth monolinear feel and gently tapered terminals. Curves are built from broad circular and elliptical strokes, while straight segments stay clean and slightly angled, giving the alphabet a consistent forward rhythm. Counters are open and spacious, and bowls (such as in B, D, O, P, and b) read as soft, even ovals rather than rigid geometry. The overall spacing and proportions feel relaxed, with clear separation between characters and a cohesive, flowing texture in text.
Works well for brand identities and packaging that want a warm, modern personality, as well as for short-to-medium headlines and promotional copy. The open forms and relaxed spacing also make it a good fit for UI labels, onboarding screens, and social graphics where a friendly tone matters.
The tone is friendly and contemporary, with a casual, handwritten-leaning energy without becoming decorative. Its rounded construction and steady slant make it feel lighthearted and personable, suited to upbeat, conversational messaging.
Designed to deliver a contemporary italic sans voice that stays clean and readable while adding motion and personality. The rounded geometry and smooth terminals suggest an intention to feel approachable and modern rather than technical or formal.
Diagonal letters (like K, V, W, X, Y) emphasize the font’s forward motion, while rounded shapes (C, G, S, O) keep the voice soft and approachable. Numerals follow the same rounded, open construction, maintaining consistency between text and figures.
