A loose, monoline handwritten script with rounded terminals and gently fluctuating stroke rhythm. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, and a notably small lowercase body that makes the capitals feel prominent. Curves dominate, with frequent loops in bowls and joins, and a generally smooth, pen-drawn motion; some characters show deliberate breaks rather than fully continuous connections. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, written-on-the-fly texture while remaining clear at display sizes.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as branding accents, packaging callouts, greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings or pull quotes where a personal, hand-drawn voice is desired, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like a quick note or a hand-lettered caption. Its looping forms and lively proportions give it a playful, personable feel without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of casual pen lettering—fluid, slightly irregular, and friendly—while staying legible and consistent enough for repeated use in display typography.
Capitals are expressive and simplified, often built from single flowing strokes with occasional cross-strokes that add personality. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with open curves and simple forms that blend smoothly with surrounding text.
