A monoline, rounded sans with a consistent rightward slant and softly tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with generous bowls in letters like C, O, and e, and a generally narrow set that keeps word shapes compact. Stems maintain even thickness with minimal modulation, while joins and corners are subtly softened rather than crisply geometric. The lowercase shows a simple, handwritten construction with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a relaxed, flowing rhythm; figures are similarly rounded and lightly drawn, with open counters and straightforward shapes.
Well-suited to brand accents, packaging, posters, and short headline or quote settings where a warm, casual voice is desirable. It can also work for UI labels or light editorial callouts when a friendly, informal tone is preferred over a neutral text face.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a light, buoyant rhythm that feels conversational rather than technical. Its italic stance and softened ends give it a personable, handwritten flavor while staying clean enough for general-purpose use.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the human feel of a handwritten italic, creating a clean but personable reading experience. It prioritizes smooth curves, soft terminals, and an easy rhythm for approachable display and short-form text.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive texture in longer lines. Round letters stay open and legible, while diagonals and curves (such as in k, v, w, and y) emphasize a gentle, drawn quality over strict geometry.
