A lively monoline script with a loose, hand-drawn rhythm and gently rounded terminals. Strokes keep a fairly even thickness, with subtle wobble and tapered joins that preserve a natural pen feel. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and generous inner counters; capitals are simplified and open, pairing comfortably with the more looped lowercase. Spacing is irregular in a deliberate way, and connections between letters occur frequently but not rigidly, maintaining an organic, written-on-the-fly texture.
Well suited to short, expressive text where a personal, informal voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, packaging callouts, labels, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works best at medium-to-large sizes where the delicate monoline strokes and looping details can remain clear.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like quick note-taking or a casual signature. Its buoyant curves and relaxed proportions read as approachable and slightly whimsical, with an easygoing, handmade charm.
Designed to emulate casual cursive handwriting with an emphasis on flow, friendliness, and quick readability. The mix of connected and lightly separated forms suggests an intent to feel natural rather than mechanically consistent, prioritizing a handmade impression over strict typographic regularity.
Distinctive loops appear on letters like g, j, y, and f, adding flourish without becoming overly ornate. Numerals echo the same light, handwritten construction, with simple shapes and soft curves that fit naturally alongside the letters.
