A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and narrow, upright proportions. Strokes keep an even weight with softly rounded terminals, mixing occasional loops (notably in capitals and select lowercase) with simpler, single-stroke constructions. The rhythm is quick and slightly bouncy, with tall ascenders and compact lowercase bodies; letterforms stay mostly unconnected but flow with consistent entry/exit strokes, giving a cohesive handwritten texture. Numerals follow the same light, brisk drawing style and remain clear at display sizes.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as headlines, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle packaging. It works best when given room to breathe and when used at larger sizes where the fine strokes and handwritten nuances remain crisp.
The overall tone feels informal and human—like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its airy spacing and energetic slant convey approachability and movement, balancing elegance with an unpretentious, everyday charm.
Designed to capture the look of fast, confident handwriting with a fine-pen feel—prioritizing personality, spontaneity, and a gentle sense of elegance over rigid uniformity.
Capitals show more flourish and variance than the lowercase, creating a natural handwritten hierarchy in mixed-case text. Curves are generally open and lightly tensioned, which helps maintain clarity despite the narrow footprint and delicate strokes.
