A slanted, monoline sans with rounded construction and softly curved stroke endings. Letterforms lean consistently, with smooth bowls and open counters that keep the texture light and readable. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, while spacing feels even and controlled, avoiding the irregularity of true handwriting. Uppercase shapes are simple and clean, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel with short extenders and a modest x-height.
Well suited to brand identities, packaging, and promotional design where a friendly italic voice is helpful. It works particularly well for short headlines, pull quotes, and social media graphics, and can hold up in medium-length text when generous line spacing is available.
The overall tone is approachable and conversational, with a casual energy that reads as contemporary rather than formal. Its gentle curves and steady rhythm give it an easy, friendly voice suited to everyday messaging and relaxed branding.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, modern italic with a humanized softness—more personable than a strict geometric sans, yet controlled enough for consistent setting across letters and numbers.
Round characters like C, O, and G show balanced curves and clear apertures, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) keep a smooth, non-mechanical feel. Numerals follow the same soft, simplified logic, making them visually consistent with the letters in mixed text.
