A slender, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded terminals and occasional looped constructions in both upper- and lowercase. Letterforms have a buoyant baseline rhythm and open counters, producing an airy texture; spacing feels loose and flowing rather than tightly connected, especially across mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, single-stroke forms and soft curves.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as logos, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and social media graphics. It performs best at display sizes where the tall, delicate strokes and looping details can remain clean and legible, and where a relaxed handwritten feel is desired.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like neat marker or pen lettering used for quick notes and friendly headings. Its tall, light structure and gentle loops give it an upbeat, approachable character without feeling overly ornate.
Designed to emulate quick, confident cursive handwriting with a streamlined, monoline pen feel. The emphasis appears to be on an elegant, tall silhouette and a friendly rhythm that adds personality to headings without heavy decoration.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, handwritten capitals with minimal flourish, while lowercase relies more on cursive joins and looped ascenders/descenders. The slant and uniform stroke weight keep lines of text cohesive, and the open shapes help maintain clarity at larger sizes.
