A slanted, monoline sans with rounded terminals and gently irregular curves that suggest a hand-drawn construction. Letterforms are open and roomy, with broad bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and lower-case o) and a loose, flowing rhythm that keeps counters generous. Strokes stay even with minimal contrast, and joins are softened rather than sharply geometric; diagonals and arcs feel slightly elastic, giving the alphabet a lively, human cadence. Numerals follow the same smooth, sketch-like logic with simple, readable shapes.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a casual, human tone is desirable—brand accents, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for headings or pull quotes in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick marker lettering used in notes or friendly signage. Its slight wobble and rounded finishing soften the voice, keeping it personable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans skeleton with the charm of informal handwriting, prioritizing friendliness and quick legibility over strict geometric precision.
Capitals maintain a simple, sans structure while leaning into curved strokes and open apertures; the lowercase carries more of the handwritten character, especially in forms like a, g, j, and y. Spacing appears comfortable and on the loose side, contributing to an easy, breathable texture in paragraph-like lines.
