A monoline handwritten script with a forward slant, compact letter widths, and tall, looped ascenders and descenders. Strokes keep an even weight with softly rounded terminals, while forms alternate between simple joins and occasional lifted connections that mimic quick pen movement. Capitals are tall and gestural with prominent entry/exit strokes, and lowercase maintains open counters and a lightly bouncy rhythm, giving lines a lively, sketched consistency.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display use where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—brand wordmarks, product packaging accents, social posts, invitations, and pull quotes. It can also work for headings and signatures, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick note-taking or a casual signature. Its airy spacing and buoyant rhythm feel approachable and contemporary, with just enough flourish in the loops to read as expressive rather than formal.
Designed to capture the look of quick, natural handwriting with a smooth, continuous flow and occasional pen lifts. The intent appears to balance legibility with expressive loops and tall proportions, creating a contemporary script that feels informal and human.
The alphabet shows noticeable handwritten variability from glyph to glyph, especially in capitals and in letters with loops (such as g, y, and f), which adds authenticity. Numerals are simple and lightly styled to blend with the script rather than stand out as rigid, typographic figures.
