A monoline handwritten script with slim, lightly rounded strokes and a steady upright posture. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders and a comparatively small lowercase body, creating a high, airy rhythm across words. Curves are open and springy, terminals are soft and slightly tapered, and joins appear selective—some letters connect while others break for clarity—giving the texture a natural, written-on-the-fly cadence. Numerals follow the same narrow, streamlined construction and keep a simple, legible silhouette.
Works well for short display text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as packaging, café or boutique branding, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes and casual headings, especially when paired with a simple sans for body text.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting used for notes or labels. Its tall, bouncy proportions and relaxed loops add a light, upbeat character without becoming messy or overly decorative.
Designed to capture a neat, modern handwritten script that feels quick and human, balancing charm with readability. The tall proportions and restrained stroke contrast suggest an intention to stay clean and versatile for everyday decorative use rather than ornate calligraphy.
The font maintains consistent stroke thickness and a clean outline, but preserves small irregularities in stroke endings and spacing that reinforce an authentic hand-drawn look. Capitals are expressive and slightly more gestural than the lowercase, helping create emphasis in headings and short phrases.
