A slanted, monoline sans with rounded construction and gently irregular, humanist proportions. Strokes maintain an even thickness with soft, slightly tapered terminals and smooth curves, giving counters a clean, open feel. Capitals are simple and airy, while the lowercase has compact proportions with tall ascenders and a relatively small x-height, creating a light, quick rhythm in text. Numerals match the informal flow, with rounded shapes and a consistent, handwritten-like cadence.
Well-suited to lifestyle branding, packaging, posters, and social graphics where an approachable, handwritten sensibility is desired. It also works for pull quotes, short UI labels, and headings that benefit from warmth, while longer text will be most comfortable at larger sizes due to the compact lowercase proportions.
The overall tone feels warm and informal, like neat marker or pen lettering rather than a rigid geometric system. Its slight bounce and relaxed spacing read as personable and modern, lending an easygoing voice to short messages and headings.
Designed to deliver a clean sans foundation with a handwritten, italicized energy—prioritizing friendliness and motion over strict typographic neutrality. The consistent stroke weight and rounded forms aim to keep the texture smooth and legible while retaining an informal, personal character.
Letterforms show mild organic variation that keeps repetition from looking mechanical, especially in curved characters and diagonals. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, supporting continuous reading while preserving a casual, note-like personality.
