A slanted, handwritten script with a smooth monoline feel and lightly brush-like terminals. Letterforms are compact and right-leaning, with simple joins and occasional disconnected strokes that keep the texture airy rather than densely linked. Curves are open and oval-driven, while ascenders and capitals rise tall with long, tapered entries and exits, giving lines a quick, fluent rhythm. Numerals follow the same informal stroke logic, with rounded forms and gently irregular widths that read like natural handwriting.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a human, informal signature-like character is desirable—logos, product labels, café or lifestyle branding, invitations, greeting cards, and pull quotes. It performs best at display and subtitle sizes, where the tall capitals and flowing rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like a quick note written with a fine marker. Its motion and slight irregularity add warmth and spontaneity without becoming messy, creating an approachable, everyday voice.
Designed to emulate fast, confident handwriting with a clean, modern smoothness. The goal appears to be an easygoing cursive that feels authentic and personal while staying legible and consistent for contemporary design work.
Capitals are especially expressive and elongated, often functioning like swashy initials that set a strong handwritten cadence in display sizes. Spacing and connections feel intentionally loose, which helps prevent dark clumping in words while preserving a continuous cursive flow.
