A rounded, monoline italic sans with a noticeably hand-drawn rhythm and slightly variable glyph widths. Strokes keep an even weight with smooth, open curves and soft terminals, producing a gentle, continuous flow across words. Bowls are broadly oval, joins are clean and simplified, and counters remain open for clarity despite the informal construction. Proportions lean compact through the lowercase, with short ascenders and a relatively restrained x-height, while capitals stay simple and airy with wide curves.
Well suited to brand voices that want to feel informal and upbeat, such as lifestyle packaging, café or boutique identities, and playful product branding. It performs best in headlines, short blurbs, pull quotes, and display-sized UI moments where its handwritten energy can be a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and a bit mischievous—more conversational than formal. Its slanted posture and bouncy curves give it a quick, human feel that reads as friendly and contemporary rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing, handwritten impression in a clean sans structure, balancing casual personality with enough regularity to set real text. It aims for warmth and motion through consistent slant, rounded construction, and simplified forms.
Figures and letters share the same rounded, slightly elastic geometry, keeping a consistent texture in mixed text. The italic angle is steady, and the spacing feels intentionally loose enough to prevent the forms from clumping, which supports readability in short passages.
