A rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly tapered terminals. Strokes are smooth and largely monoline, with gentle modulation that reads as low-contrast, and curves that feel slightly elastic rather than rigidly geometric. Counters are open and circular-to-oval, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle width variation between letters that gives words a natural, handwritten flow while remaining clean and legible. Numerals follow the same rounded, informal construction, keeping the texture even across mixed text.
Well-suited to brand identities, packaging, and marketing where an approachable, contemporary voice is needed. It also works for editorial subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium UI copy where a friendly tone and quick readability are priorities, especially when mixed with numerals.
The typeface conveys an easygoing, friendly tone—modern and conversational rather than formal. Its soft corners and italic motion add warmth and energy, producing a personable voice that feels inviting and lightly playful.
Designed to blend the cleanliness of a rounded sans with the energy of an italic, creating a welcoming, modern texture that stays practical for everyday communication.
The slanted structure and rounded joins create a smooth reading line in continuous text, while the generous apertures help maintain clarity. Uppercase forms stay simple and sturdy, balancing the more buoyant feel of the lowercase so headlines don’t become overly whimsical.
