A compact, right-leaning sans with softly rounded terminals and a gently drawn, marker-like stroke. The letterforms are simplified and monolinear in feel, with subtly tapered joins and smooth curves that keep counters open despite the tight proportions. Uppercase shapes are clean and sturdy, while lowercase forms are more handwritten in rhythm, with single-storey a and g and a generally flowing, connected-in-spirit construction. Numerals follow the same soft, slightly bouncy logic, staying clear and consistent with the overall slanted texture.
It works well for punchy headlines, posters, and short statements where a friendly, human tone is desired. The compact proportions and strong weight also suit packaging, brand wordmarks, and social graphics that need to stay bold and legible in limited space.
The font reads as warm and informal, with a retro sign-painting and casual note-taking energy. Its rounded endings and buoyant slant make it feel welcoming and conversational rather than technical or severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a soft, approachable display voice that bridges clean sans structure with a casual, handwritten cadence. It prioritizes smooth rhythm, rounded finishes, and confident emphasis for expressive, everyday communication.
The overall texture is dense and dark, producing a strong presence at display and headline sizes. Curves and diagonals are emphasized over hard corners, and the consistent slant helps maintain forward motion across longer lines of text.
