A heavy, right-slanted sans with soft, rounded terminals and an overall brush-like smoothness rather than hard geometric cuts. Strokes show gently tapered joins and subtly uneven pressure, giving curves a lively rhythm while keeping counters open and readable. Proportions are slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, with compact, rounded bowls and a generally upright structure pushed into an italic posture; lowercase forms feel especially fluid, with single-storey shapes and simple construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its weight and slant can provide momentum—headlines, brand marks, packaging callouts, posters, and promotional graphics. It can work in brief text passages when set with generous leading and spacing, but its strong personality is most effective in titles and emphatic phrases.
The tone is warm and informal, with a hand-drawn energy that reads as friendly rather than strict or technical. Its roundness and consistent slant create a buoyant, conversational feel suited to upbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, friendly sans voice with a handwritten-leaning italic motion, balancing legibility with expressive, rounded shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase letters maintain sturdy, simplified silhouettes, while the lowercase introduces more personality through looped forms and playful curvature. Numerals match the same soft, weighty presence, keeping a cohesive color in running text.
