A monoline, rounded sans with an italic slant and gently irregular, hand-drawn geometry. Strokes stay consistently thin with soft, rounded terminals and smooth, circular bowls, while spacing and widths vary slightly across glyphs for a natural rhythm. Uppercase forms are clean and open, and the lowercase shows simplified constructions with single-storey shapes and minimal modulation, keeping counters roomy and legible. Numerals follow the same light, curved logic, with straightforward silhouettes and smooth joins.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly, casual voice is desired—such as branding, packaging callouts, posters, and social media graphics. It can also work for light editorial sideheads or quotes when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, combining a modern, clean outline with a lightly personal, handwritten feel. Its slanted stance and rounded forms give it an easygoing, conversational voice rather than a formal or technical one.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, rounded sans experience with the warmth of hand-drawn italics—prioritizing approachability and visual ease while staying simple and contemporary.
Curves dominate the design, with a noticeable preference for open apertures and generous internal space, which helps maintain clarity despite the delicate stroke weight. The italic angle is steady, and the letterforms prioritize smooth continuity over rigid, mechanical symmetry.
