A monoline, handwritten script with rounded terminals and a smooth, marker-like stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with modest curves and occasional looped entries on ascenders and capitals. The rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, preserving a natural hand-drawn feel while remaining consistent across the set. Lowercase shows a compact x-height relative to ascenders, and counters are generally open, keeping forms airy despite the condensed proportions. Numerals follow the same simple, single-stroke logic with gentle curvature and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, social graphics, and brand accents on packaging. It works best for headlines, pull quotes, and brief captions where its handmade character can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is warm and informal, like quick but confident handwriting in a personal note. Its slim, buoyant shapes feel lighthearted and conversational rather than formal or technical.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of real handwriting with a clean, controlled monoline stroke. The narrow, tall proportions and rounded forms aim to deliver an upbeat, personable voice that feels crafted but not overly polished.
Capital letters are simplified and slightly more gestural than the lowercase, helping them stand out in short headings. Strokes stay even with soft joins, and many letters read clearly at a glance, though the narrow proportions can make dense blocks feel busy at smaller sizes.
