A slanted sans with fluid, pen-like construction and gently rounded terminals. Strokes show subtle modulation, with curves doing most of the work and very few hard corners, creating a smooth, continuous rhythm. Capitals are simple and open, while the lowercase leans more handwritten, with single-storey forms and compact bowls; ascenders read tall against a comparatively small x-height. Spacing feels on the generous side, helping the shapes stay legible despite the lively angles and varying character widths.
Well-suited for branding and packaging that want a friendly, modern voice, and for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where an italic, handwritten feel adds personality. It also works effectively in UI accents or feature callouts, where its airy rhythm can differentiate emphasis without feeling heavy.
The overall tone is light and personable, with a relaxed handwritten energy tempered by clean, contemporary outlines. It feels informal and approachable, yet refined enough to read as stylish rather than playful.
The design appears intended to bridge a clean sans structure with a casual, handwritten slant, delivering a contemporary italic voice that feels expressive yet controlled. It prioritizes smooth readability and a stylish, personal tone for prominent text settings.
The figures follow the same slanted, gently modulated logic as the letters, with rounded, flowing curves that match the text texture. In longer lines, the consistent forward lean and open counters create an easy, breezy cadence, especially at display and subhead sizes.
