A slender, monoline sans with a steady rightward slant and tall, streamlined proportions. Strokes stay uniformly thin with gently rounded terminals, and curves are drawn as narrow ovals that keep counters open and clean. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, creating a subtly irregular rhythm that reads like neat marker lettering while remaining consistent in construction. Numerals follow the same light, linear logic, with simple curves and open shapes that match the alphabet.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a casual, modern voice is desired, such as posters, product packaging, café or lifestyle branding, and social media graphics. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or headings when you want a lighter, more personal texture than a neutral italic sans.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and informal, with a breezy handwritten flavor. Its narrow, slanted forms feel energetic and contemporary, lending text a quick, personal voice without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the ease of handwritten italics in a clean sans framework, prioritizing a light touch, quick rhythm, and legibility through open counters and simple, rounded construction.
Straight strokes often show a slight organic wobble, and joins are kept simple, which reinforces the hand-rendered impression. The slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a cohesive forward motion.
