A rounded, monoline sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly modulated curves. Strokes stay even and smooth, with rounded terminals and a slightly bouncy baseline feel created by varied letter widths and relaxed proportions. Counters are generally open (notably in C, e, and a), and joins favor gentle arcs over sharp corners, producing an easy, flowing rhythm in words and sentences. Figures follow the same handwritten-leaning construction, with simple forms and curved finishes that match the alphabet’s softness.
Well suited to friendly branding, packaging, and promotional graphics where an informal, human tone is desired. It also works nicely for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and poster headlines, and can remain readable in brief text passages where a relaxed, handwritten-leaning sans is appropriate.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat marker handwriting translated into a clean typographic system. Its slant and rounded endings give it an energetic, conversational voice that feels welcoming rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to blend the warmth of handwriting with the clarity of a rounded sans, prioritizing approachability and smooth reading flow. Its consistent slant, soft terminals, and open shapes suggest a focus on casual communication and contemporary, upbeat presentation.
Diagonal-heavy letters such as K, V, W, X, and Y show restrained, clean intersections that keep the texture uncluttered, while broader rounds (O, Q, G) emphasize the font’s circular geometry. Spacing appears comfortably generous in running text, supporting a light, airy color on the page.
