A flowing handwritten script with a tall, slender silhouette and a consistent, pen-like monoline stroke. Letterforms are strongly right-leaning with smooth entry and exit strokes, frequent loops, and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical rhythm. Connections are common but not overly rigid, giving words an organic, slightly bouncy baseline. Counters are open and spacing feels natural and irregular in a way that reinforces the hand-drawn character while staying clear at display sizes.
Well-suited to logo words, boutique branding, packaging accents, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal signature-like feel is desirable. It works best for short to medium text lines, pull quotes, and headings where the tall proportions and lively connections can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is light and personable, balancing casual informality with a refined, airy elegance. Its quick, confident strokes and looping joins suggest friendly notes, contemporary stationery, and relaxed premium branding rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture a contemporary handwritten look that reads like quick, confident pen script—expressive in capitals, smooth in lowercase, and optimized for stylish display typography that still feels approachable.
Capitals are expressive and prominent, often using extended leading strokes and soft curves that stand out in headings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, uncluttered shapes and a consistent slant, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings visually cohesive.
