A rounded, monoline sans with a pronounced rightward slant and generously open counters. Strokes maintain an even thickness with softly blunted terminals, creating a smooth, marker-like flow rather than sharp joins. Proportions lean wide overall, with broad bowls and extended horizontals, and a relaxed rhythm that varies slightly from glyph to glyph. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey constructions and clear, open apertures, while figures follow the same rounded, slightly handwritten logic.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its wide stance and rounded, slanted forms can set a welcoming tone—such as posters, product packaging, playful branding, and casual signage. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when an informal, human voice is desired.
The font reads as approachable and upbeat, with a light, informal energy. Its smooth curves and easy slant evoke a casual, retro-leaning tone that feels human and conversational rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of hand-drawn, rounded strokes. The wide proportions and consistent monoline weight suggest a focus on friendly display readability and an inviting, characterful presence.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, X, and Y) are drawn with gentle angles and softened meeting points, reinforcing the rounded character. The overall texture is airy and friendly, and the wide set gives headlines a relaxed, expansive presence.
