A slanted, monoline sans with rounded geometry and softly finished terminals. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, with smooth curves and gently tapered joins that keep the texture light and airy. Uppercase forms are simple and open, while lowercase shows humanist cues—single-storey a and g, a curved descender on y, and a hooked f—creating a lively rhythm. Numerals follow the same soft, rounded construction, with a straightforward 1 and open, circular counters in 0, 8, and 9.
Well-suited to contemporary branding, packaging, and promotional graphics where an inviting, personable voice is needed. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial copy, captions, and UI text when a warmer, less rigid sans is desired.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a handwritten ease despite its clean sans structure. Its consistent softness and forward slant add motion and warmth, making it read as approachable rather than corporate or strict.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a modern sans with the relaxed cadence of italic handwriting, using rounded forms and open counters to maintain legibility while conveying friendliness and motion.
Letterforms lean consistently and keep generous interior space, which supports readability at moderate sizes. Curves dominate the construction (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls of b/p/q), and the punctuation and dot accents appear round and unobtrusive, reinforcing the smooth, casual voice.
