A slim, monoline handwritten script with tall ascenders and generous vertical reach. Strokes keep an even thickness with rounded terminals and frequent looped entries/exits, giving letters a lively, drawn-by-pen feel. The rhythm is loose and slightly bouncy, with variable character widths and occasional partial connections rather than strict continuous joining. Uppercase forms are simplified and narrow with long verticals and modest flourishes, while lowercase features compact counters and quick, abbreviated bowls.
Well-suited for short, expressive copy where a handwritten tone is desired—logos, boutique packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It performs best at medium to large sizes where the narrow, looping details and tall proportions have room to breathe.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick notes or a relaxed signature. Its airy construction and springy loops create a lighthearted, approachable voice that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, natural cursive lettering with an emphasis on elegance through height and simplicity rather than heavy ornament. The forms prioritize personality and flow, aiming for a clean handwritten look that remains readable in headings and short phrases.
Distinctive looped shapes appear in letters like g, y, and z, and cross strokes (such as on t and f) are long and expressive, adding motion in running text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, open forms that read clearly at display sizes.
