A monoline, handwritten script with a rightward slant and brisk, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms are slender with rounded turns, open counters, and occasional looped ascenders/descenders that give the texture a lively, sketch-like rhythm. Connections are implied rather than rigidly uniform, producing natural variation in joins and spacing while keeping a cohesive cursive line. Capitals are simple and upright in construction, pairing cleanly with the more fluid lowercase; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and minimal ornament.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, product labels, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It works well for headers, signatures, and accent lines where a personal handwritten feel is desired, especially at display sizes where the looping details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat handwriting in a quick note or a friendly caption. Its light, flowing motion and soft curves read as approachable and informal, with a playful bounce that keeps it from feeling formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive handwriting with a clean, consistent pen stroke and an easy reading rhythm. The forms prioritize warmth and spontaneity over strict regularity, aiming for a natural written look that still feels coherent across lines of text.
Stroke endings are softly tapered rather than sharply terminated, and the baseline shows subtle irregularity consistent with hand-drawn forms. The lowercase features modest extenders and frequent loops (notably in letters like g, y, and f), which adds character at larger sizes while maintaining legibility in short phrases.
