A rounded, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and gently tapered, soft terminals. Curves are prominent and smooth, with open bowls and generous apertures that keep letters from feeling cramped. Proportions lean slightly narrow and tall, with a steady rhythm and modest stroke modulation; joins and endings feel subtly hand-drawn while remaining clean and controlled. Numerals follow the same rounded, flowing logic, with simple, uncluttered shapes that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to branding and packaging where a friendly, modern voice is desired, and to editorial pull quotes or short passages that benefit from an energetic italic texture. It also performs well in posters, social graphics, and UI headings where rounded forms and open counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like an informal note set in a tidy, contemporary style. Its soft curves and slight calligraphic lean add warmth and motion, giving text a conversational, upbeat feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable sans with an italic-forward, handwritten-adjacent rhythm—combining clean, modern construction with softened terminals to keep the tone warm and informal.
The slant is steady across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the design favors rounded geometry over hard corners. Shapes like C/G/S and the curved diagonals in K/V/W maintain a cohesive, smooth stroke behavior that supports a flowing texture in continuous text.
