A slender, monoline handwritten script with a right-leaning motion and a lively, bouncing baseline. Letterforms are tall and narrow with extended ascenders and descenders, and strokes stay smooth and even with minimal contrast. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving words a quick, note-like rhythm while retaining cursive flow. Capitals are larger and more expressive, often built from single sweeping strokes and open loops, while lowercase stays compact with small bowls and simple joins.
Well-suited to short display settings where a human, informal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social posts, and small packaging accents. It works best at medium to larger sizes where the delicate strokes and narrow proportions can remain clear.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick handwriting on a card or a margin note. Its narrow, upright-tall rhythm and occasional loops add a light, slightly playful character without feeling overly ornamental.
Designed to capture a quick, elegant handwritten look with tall proportions and minimal stroke modulation, balancing legibility with a natural, personal cadence. The expressive capitals and restrained lowercase suggest an intention for friendly, modern display typography rather than long-form reading.
Spacing appears intentionally loose for a handwritten style, with some letters sitting more independently even within words, which enhances the sketchy, spontaneous feel. Numerals follow the same lean and thin stroke behavior, reading clean and understated alongside the letters.
