A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall proportions and a forward lean. Strokes are smooth and lightly modulated, with rounded turns, open counters, and occasional looped ascenders/descenders. Letterforms are simplified and quick, with a lively baseline that gives the rhythm a slightly bouncy, spontaneous feel. Capitals are narrow and elongated, while lowercase forms stay compact and readable, creating a clear handwritten hierarchy in mixed-case text.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, lifestyle branding, and social media graphics. It can also work for lightweight packaging labels and headings, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting copy.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its light, airy presence and slender strokes read as gentle and approachable, with a touch of playful elegance from the loops and tall forms. It suggests quick notes, friendly messages, and relaxed branding rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting in a refined, consistent set of shapes. The narrow, tall construction and restrained stroke weight aim to keep the texture light on the page while still delivering a distinctly human, cursive character.
Connections between letters are intermittent rather than strictly continuous, so words read like fast cursive that lifts the pen at times. Numerals match the same thin, handwritten construction and maintain the font’s narrow, upright-ish rhythm even with the italic slant.
