A relaxed cursive script with a monoline, pen-drawn feel and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and slim, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies, producing a light, airy texture. Strokes flow smoothly with rounded turns, occasional looped entries/exits, and gently varied character widths that keep the rhythm lively. Capitals are simplified and open, pairing well with the more connected, loop-friendly lowercase; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with clean, unobtrusive forms.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a personable handwritten voice is desired, such as branding accents, packaging, social media graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and quote-based layouts. It can also work as a supporting script alongside a clean sans for headings, pull quotes, and signature-style signoffs.
The overall tone is approachable and personal, like a quick, neat note written with confidence. Its tall, graceful motion adds a hint of elegance while staying informal and friendly rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the ease of everyday handwriting while staying visually coherent across a full alphabet and numerals. The emphasis on tall proportions, smooth joins, and restrained stroke behavior suggests an intention to remain readable and versatile for contemporary display use.
Connections are generally fluid but not overly tight, helping counters stay open in longer text. The design favors vertical momentum—noticeable in the long stems and extended descenders—which gives words a distinctive, slightly bouncy silhouette.
