A tall, condensed handwritten script with a monoline feel and softly tapered stroke endings. Letterforms are built from slim vertical stems and generous, rounded loops, creating an elastic rhythm that alternates between long ascenders/descenders and compact counters. Connections appear selectively—more frequent in lowercase—while capitals often stand alone with simplified, narrow structures. The overall texture stays clean and open, with smooth curves and minimal angularity.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics, where the handwritten personality is an asset. It can also work for light branding accents and packaging callouts, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the delicate line quality.
The font reads as lighthearted and approachable, with a slightly quirky, improvised charm. Its looping forms and narrow proportions give it an airy, playful tone that feels personal and informal rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture a quick, personable handwritten voice with tall, condensed letterforms and gentle looping gestures. The intent appears to be a versatile casual script that feels neat enough for display while retaining natural, hand-drawn irregularities.
Capitals are notably tall and slender, helping headings stand out without adding visual weight. Lowercase shows pronounced extenders (notably in letters like g, j, y), and the numerals follow the same slim, hand-drawn logic for a cohesive set. Spacing appears relatively open for such narrow forms, aiding legibility in short phrases.
