A slender, handwritten script with a monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and compressed, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, willowy rhythm across words. Curves are simple and open, while terminals tend to finish in quick hooks or slight flicks, giving the outlines a lightly improvised, pen-drawn character. Spacing is naturally uneven as in handwriting, and many lowercase forms use modest entry/exit strokes that suggest loose connectivity without forcing continuous joining.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, social posts, and pull quotes. It works especially well at display sizes where the tall proportions and looping details have room to breathe.
The font feels informal and human, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its tall, narrow silhouette and energetic loops give it a lively, slightly whimsical tone that reads as approachable rather than formal.
Likely designed to capture an authentic, quick cursive note style with a fine-pen feel—prioritizing personality, speed, and flow over strict geometric regularity.
Uppercase letters mix looped, single-stroke constructions with occasional simplified, print-like structures, which adds variety and a sketchbook quality. Numerals follow the same lean and light touch, staying simple and legible while matching the handwritten cadence.
