A loose, handwritten script with a smooth, monoline stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow bodies, elongated ascenders/descenders, and generous use of looped forms in both uppercase and lowercase. Terminals are mostly tapered or softly rounded, and connections appear intermittent—many letters feel naturally written rather than mechanically joined. Capitals are prominent and expressive, often built from single flowing strokes with open counters and occasional flourish-like entry strokes.
Works well for short-to-medium display copy where a human, approachable voice is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging labels, social posts, invitations, and pull quotes. It’s especially effective at larger sizes where the loops, tall strokes, and natural irregularities can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but careful pen writing. Its rhythm feels light and nimble, giving text a conversational, friendly character with a touch of elegance from the tall proportions and looping gestures.
Designed to emulate fast, confident cursive handwriting with an emphasis on flow, height, and a relaxed pen rhythm. The goal appears to be an authentic, personal script look that remains clean and readable for headline and accent use.
Lowercase forms show notable variety in join behavior and letter width, enhancing the organic handwriting feel. Numerals follow the same pen-drawn logic with rounded shapes and simple construction, keeping the set visually cohesive with the letters.
