A monoline, handwritten script with a gentle forward slant and a narrow, upright rhythm. Strokes are thin and smooth with rounded terminals, frequent looped joins, and occasional swashy entry/exit strokes that extend slightly beyond the letter body. Proportions lean tall, with prominent ascenders and descenders and a comparatively small x-height, giving the lowercase a light, floaty silhouette. Overall spacing and widths vary subtly like real pen writing, while counters stay open and forms remain clean and uncluttered.
Well suited to short to medium-length phrases where a handwritten feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the thin stroke and loop details can remain crisp.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—soft, breezy, and a bit playful. Its looping connections and light touch feel conversational and handmade, suggesting warmth without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate neat, flowing penmanship with a light, modern touch—balancing legibility with expressive loops and gentle swashes for friendly, everyday display typography.
Uppercase letters behave like simplified script caps with occasional flourishes (notably on forms like Q, J, and Z), while the lowercase maintains consistent connectivity and rounded turns. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and minimal detailing for a cohesive text color.
