A slender, monoline handwritten script with a quick, pen-drawn feel. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness with rounded ends, producing clean, open shapes and generous interior space. Proportions are tall and vertical, with long ascenders/descenders and relatively small lowercase bodies, giving the line a light, airy rhythm. Letterforms lean mostly upright with gentle curvature and occasional looped joins and entry/exit strokes; spacing remains open and consistent for a handwritten style.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, packaging callouts, and quote treatments. It also suits lightweight brand accents such as labels, signatures, and headings where the open spacing and tall forms can breathe.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, like neat everyday handwriting. Its light touch and flowing loops read as relaxed and personable, with a subtle playful energy rather than formality or severity.
Designed to capture a clean, modern handwritten look with minimal stroke contrast and an even rhythm, prioritizing friendliness and readability over formal calligraphy. The tall proportions and looped cursive cues suggest an intention to feel natural and human while staying tidy and consistent in display use.
Capitals are simple and linear with occasional flourish-like cross strokes, while many lowercase forms show single-storey, handwritten constructions and looped descenders. Numerals match the same thin, hand-drawn logic and maintain an easy, casual consistency alongside the letters.
