A slanted, rounded sans with soft, slightly swelling strokes and a hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are built from broad ellipses rather than strict geometry, and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that create a chiseled, organic edge. Terminals tend to be tapered or subtly hooked instead of flat-cut, giving counters and apertures a lively, uneven energy. Uppercase forms are sturdy and compact, while lowercase shows more movement and occasional asymmetry, with open, looping bowls and a single-storey a and g.
Well-suited to branding systems, packaging, and promotional graphics where a warm, energetic voice is helpful. It can carry short-to-medium headlines and editorial pull quotes effectively, especially when you want a casual, slightly retro personality with clear letter shapes.
The overall tone is spirited and personable, balancing readability with a distinctive, slightly eccentric flair. Its slant and softened terminals suggest motion and friendliness, while the recurring notches and hooks add a hint of vintage display character without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to offer an approachable italic sans with handcrafted character—combining rounded, humanist proportions with small deliberate quirks at joins and terminals to keep the texture animated and memorable in display sizes.
Round letters like O/Q and e/o show noticeably elliptical construction, and the Q features a clear tail treatment. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are emphatic and contribute to a dynamic texture, while numerals echo the same rounded, notched detailing for consistency.
