A monoline handwritten script with quick, brush-pen energy and a consistently right-leaning slant. Strokes are thin and smooth with low contrast, producing an airy color on the page. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long, whiplike ascenders/descenders and occasional looped forms (notably in capitals and in letters like g, j, y). Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, giving words a natural handwritten rhythm with slightly irregular joins, open counters, and tapered terminals that feel drawn in a single pass.
Best suited to short display settings where its thin strokes and narrow proportions can breathe—logos, branding lockups, product labels, social media graphics, and editorial headings. It can also work for pull quotes or invitations when set at larger sizes with generous tracking to preserve clarity.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a lively, spontaneous cadence that suggests quick note-taking or a confident signature. Its tall, elegant movement adds a touch of modern sophistication while staying relaxed and friendly rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the immediacy of real handwriting with a modern, brushy script feel—prioritizing expressive motion, tall proportions, and a light, elegant rhythm over strict uniformity or formal penmanship.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from a single sweeping stroke, while lowercase forms remain compact with slim bowls and minimal ornament. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple straight strokes with occasional loops for a cohesive, sketch-like set.
