A slanted, humanist sans with rounded construction and gently tapered strokes. Curves are generous and open, with soft, slightly angled terminals that keep the texture light and fluid. Uppercase forms feel simple and clean, while lowercase shapes lean more calligraphic in rhythm, creating a lively, handwritten-leaning flow without becoming script. Numerals are clear and compact, echoing the same rounded, softly modulated stroke behavior.
Well suited to branding and packaging that benefit from a personable, modern tone, as well as editorial pull quotes, headings, and short-to-medium text where a lively italic texture is desired. It also works effectively in posters and social media graphics where quick readability and a friendly voice are important.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with an easygoing, conversational feel. Its slant and soft curvature add motion and friendliness, lending a contemporary, personal voice rather than a strict corporate one.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic sans voice that feels human and dynamic, combining clean geometry with subtle, hand-influenced modulation for warmth and ease of reading.
Letterforms show a consistent forward momentum and a smooth baseline rhythm, with rounded joins and open apertures that help maintain clarity. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, supporting both short display use and longer lines without looking overly decorative.
