A light, semi-italic sans with rounded terminals and a hand-drawn, calligraphic construction. Strokes stay slender overall but show gentle modulation, with slightly heavier joins and occasional tapered entries. Bowls are open and softly squared into ovals, counters are generous, and many letters lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm. Distinctive shapes include the looped, single-storey forms (notably a and g), a flowing w with curled joins, and simplified, curved numerals with open, airy interiors.
Best suited for branding, packaging, posters, and editorial headlines where a distinctive, friendly texture is desired. It can work for short to medium text in larger sizes, particularly when you want an informal, contemporary tone and are not aiming for strictly neutral readability.
The tone is playful and approachable, with a whimsical, modern feel that reads more like a lively marker or pen than a neutral UI sans. Its unusual details add personality and motion, giving text an informal, creative voice without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to blend a clean sans foundation with handwritten, calligraphic cues—keeping forms simple while adding signature curves and loops for memorability. The goal seems to be a light, modern display voice that feels energetic and personable in running phrases.
Ascenders and descenders are relatively long and contribute to a bouncy vertical cadence. Curves dominate over straight segments, and the glyphs prioritize fluidity and charm over strict geometric regularity; this is especially noticeable in the w, y, and the curved cross-strokes and hooks in several capitals and numerals.
