A slanted, monoline sans with rounded terminals and smoothly drawn curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with gentle joins and minimal contrast, giving letters a soft, continuous rhythm. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with open counters and simple, geometric construction in rounds like C, O, and e. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and an overall streamlined, handwritten-leaning flow while remaining clearly typographic.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a clean but warm italic voice is desired—such as UI labels, product and lifestyle branding, packaging callouts, and editorial subheads. The clear shapes and open counters help maintain legibility in small sizes, while the slant adds emphasis for headlines and pull quotes.
The face reads relaxed and personable, with a light, breezy tone that feels contemporary rather than formal. Its rounded endings and steady line quality create an inviting, low-friction voice suited to friendly messaging and informal branding.
Likely designed to provide an easygoing italic sans that balances geometric clarity with a human, handwritten-like cadence. The uniform stroke weight, rounded terminals, and simplified lowercase forms suggest an emphasis on clarity, friendliness, and smooth reading flow.
Capitals are straightforward and uncluttered, while the lowercase adds character through curved entry/exit strokes and a consistent forward slant. Numerals follow the same smooth, rounded treatment for a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
