A rounded, monoline sans with an italic slant and a distinctly handwritten rhythm. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with gently tapered terminals and soft joins, producing smooth, continuous curves in bowls and shoulders. Proportions lean generous and roomy, with open apertures and wide-set forms that keep counters clear. Uppercase shapes are simplified and informal, while lowercase letters favor single-storey constructions and looped descenders, reinforcing an easy, flowing texture in text.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display settings where a personable, informal voice is needed—such as branding accents, packaging, posters, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for headings and subheads in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral text companion.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, with a light, breezy energy that reads as personal rather than corporate. Its relaxed slant and rounded finishing give it a friendly, upbeat feel suited to informal messaging and human-centered branding.
Designed to capture the ease of quick marker or brush lettering while staying clean and legible, emphasizing rounded geometry, open forms, and a smooth cursive-like flow for approachable display typography.
The face maintains a consistent stroke voice across letters and figures, but with intentionally lively, hand-drawn irregularities that create movement along a line. Numerals match the same rounded, casual construction, keeping mixed text cohesive.
