A slim, handwritten script with a quick, marker-like stroke and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms lean forward with lively rhythm, using tall ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies that create a light, airy texture. Connections appear naturally in running text, while individual capitals stay mostly standalone, built from long vertical strokes and simple, open curves. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with occasional extended entry/exit strokes that enhance flow and give the alphabet an easy, informal consistency.
Well suited for short to medium-length copy where an informal, personal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social posts, and lifestyle branding. It also works well for packaging accents and labels, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels approachable and conversational, like neat everyday handwriting used for notes, labels, and personal messages. Its relaxed irregularities and buoyant loops keep it warm and human rather than polished or formal.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, contemporary handwriting look with smooth joining behavior and a light, airy footprint. It prioritizes friendly legibility and rhythmic flow over calligraphic complexity, making it adaptable for modern, casual display and branding applications.
Uppercase forms are narrow and linear with minimal ornament, while the lowercase introduces more looping behavior and softer joins. Numerals are simple and handwritten in feel, matching the same slim stroke and forward movement. Spacing in text appears open enough to keep the script readable while preserving a continuous, hand-drawn cadence.
