A lightly built, slanted sans with smooth, monoline strokes and rounded terminals. The forms are open and simplified, with a gently irregular, hand-drawn rhythm that keeps counters generous and curves soft. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase, while ascenders and select capitals rise with a tall, slightly elastic stance. Numerals and punctuation follow the same soft geometry, staying clean and legible without sharp corners.
Well suited to branding and packaging that needs a casual, approachable voice, as well as posters, headlines, and social graphics where the friendly slant and airy texture can shine. It also works for short UI labels or captions when a human, informal tone is desired, especially at moderate sizes.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat handwriting polished for consistent reuse. Its slight bounce and soft curves give it an upbeat, conversational feel that reads friendly rather than formal. The slant adds motion and warmth, helping text feel lively and human.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a simple sans with the warmth of handwriting, using consistent stroke weight, rounded terminals, and a steady slant to produce an inviting, contemporary feel. It prioritizes an easygoing personality while keeping letterforms straightforward and readable.
Round characters such as O, C, and G stay smoothly elliptical, while diagonals in A, V, W, and X keep a gentle, non-mechanical feel. Lowercase forms lean on simple single-storey constructions and open apertures, supporting readability in short bursts and display sizes.
