A slim, slanted sans with a monoline feel and softly tapered stroke endings. The letterforms are narrow and upright in construction but consistently leaned, creating a fast diagonal rhythm across lines. Curves are smooth and rounded, with open apertures and simplified terminals that keep counters clear. Spacing is moderately loose for the width, helping the condensed shapes breathe and remain readable in continuous text.
Works well for short to medium-length copy where a friendly, handwritten-leaning voice is desired, such as editorial callouts, poster headlines, packaging text, and casual branding. Its condensed build also suits situations where you need to fit more characters into limited horizontal space while keeping a light, approachable feel.
The overall tone is casual and personable, echoing quick handwriting translated into a clean, consistent font. Its narrow, energetic rhythm feels light on the page and slightly playful without becoming decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwriting in a clean sans structure, balancing narrow efficiency with rounded, open forms for legibility. The consistent slant and restrained detailing suggest an intention toward versatile display and readable emphasis rather than formal text-setting.
Capitals are tall and streamlined, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey, handwritten sensibility with simple joins and minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same narrow, gently curved logic, giving text and figures a cohesive, informal texture.
