A slanted, pen-like script with smooth monoline strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and narrow with a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, and many characters use open loops and simple entry/exit strokes that encourage flow in words. Capitals are taller and more gestural, often built from a single sweeping stroke with understated flourishes, while lowercase shapes stay tight and streamlined with small counters and short extenders. Numerals match the handwritten construction, keeping the same relaxed curvature and simple, single-stroke feel.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where an informal, handwritten voice is desired—such as branding accents, packaging labels, invitations, social posts, and pull quotes. It can also serve as a secondary typeface paired with a neutral sans or serif for contrast in editorial or lifestyle layouts.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like quick but practiced handwriting. Its narrow, flowing shapes and modest swashes give it a light retro note while still feeling contemporary and approachable.
Designed to capture a neat, handwritten script look with a fast, fluid stroke and compact proportions, balancing expressive capitals and looped details with an overall clean, readable word shape.
Connections between letters appear selective rather than fully continuous, which helps maintain clarity in mixed-case settings. Distinctive looped forms (notably in letters like g, y, and Q) add character without becoming overly ornate, and the consistent stroke weight keeps the texture even across longer lines.
