A slanted, handwritten script with a smooth, pen-like monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and generally narrow, with tall ascenders, long descenders, and a notably small x-height that creates a light, vertical rhythm. Curves are elastic and slightly irregular in a natural hand-drawn way, with occasional loops and simplified joins; many lowercase letters connect fluidly while some lift for clarity. Numerals are similarly narrow and lightly gestural, matching the brisk, handwritten cadence of the letters.
Works well for short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It can also serve as a signature-style companion to a neutral sans in branding systems, where a personal, human touch is needed.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick note-taking or a casual signature. Its light, brisk movement and narrow proportions give it an energetic, slightly playful feel without becoming loud or decorative.
Designed to mimic fast, natural handwriting with a consistent pen stroke and a gently looping cursive flow. The proportions and slant prioritize an expressive, personal voice over rigid typographic regularity, aiming for warmth and immediacy in display-sized settings.
Capitals read as simplified handwritten forms rather than formal calligraphic swashes, helping mixed-case text stay approachable. The small x-height and long extenders make spacing and leading especially important for comfortable reading in longer lines.
