A slender, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, bouncing baseline. Letterforms are tall and narrow with compact counters, long ascenders/descenders, and occasional looped entries and exits that suggest quick pen movement. Stroke endings are tapered and slightly irregular, with intermittent connections and a mix of open and closed joins that keep the texture light and airy. Capitals are simplified and upright in structure but still slanted, standing taller than the lowercase and reading as drawn rather than formal calligraphy.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, product packaging, and social posts where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It also works well for headings and small branding accents when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick journaling or a neat note written with a fine pen. Its narrow, energetic rhythm gives it a youthful, playful feel while remaining legible at display sizes.
Designed to capture the look of quick, neat cursive handwriting with a fine-pen feel—prioritizing charm and personal character over strict uniformity. The narrow proportions and looping gestures appear intended to keep lines of text compact while maintaining an expressive, handwritten rhythm.
Spacing is naturally uneven in a hand-drawn way, and several shapes lean on long vertical stems (notably in letters like l, t, h, and k), reinforcing the font’s tall, willowy silhouette. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and light terminals, blending well with text settings.
