A flowing handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a mostly monoline stroke that shows subtle pressure changes at curves and terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders and relatively small, understated lowercase bodies, giving the line a light, airy rhythm. Strokes are smooth and continuous with occasional lifted-pen joins, creating a natural handwritten cadence rather than strict connectivity. Terminals tend to be tapered or softly rounded, and many capitals use broad, open loops that keep the texture readable despite the narrow proportions.
Well-suited for short-to-medium headlines where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—brand marks, packaging callouts, café or boutique materials, quote graphics, and social posts. It also works for invitation-style text and highlights, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but confident marker or pen handwriting. It feels upbeat and conversational, with a slightly energetic, modern craft sensibility that reads as human and approachable rather than polished or formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive handwriting while maintaining consistent proportions and a cohesive rhythm across the alphabet and numerals. The tall, narrow build and soft terminals aim to create an elegant, contemporary handwritten voice that stays light and legible in display settings.
Capitals are especially expressive and loop-forward, standing taller than the lowercase and adding a distinctive signature-like character. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, lightly gestural forms that match the script’s relaxed rhythm.
