A loose, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and rounded with frequent open curves and occasional long, sweeping crossbars and entry/exit strokes, giving letters a buoyant rhythm. Uppercase forms are simplified and gestural, with some larger, loopier shapes (notably in rounded letters), while lowercase stays compact with small counters and minimal ornament beyond subtle loops on letters like g, j, and y. Numerals are simple and handwritten in feel, matching the same narrow, lightly drawn stroke and informal spacing.
Well suited for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—social media graphics, pull quotes, greeting cards, invitations, and lifestyle packaging. It can also work for wordmarks and small branding accents, especially when used at comfortable sizes and with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick pen notes cleaned up for display. It reads as contemporary and approachable rather than formal, with a light, upbeat energy suited to friendly messaging and everyday branding.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a clean monoline finish—more like an everyday signature style than formal calligraphy. The narrow, upright-to-leaning construction and restrained detailing aim for a modern, usable script that feels personal without becoming overly decorative.
Connectivity is partial: many letters suggest cursive joining, but spacing and pen lifts appear in places, which keeps words legible while preserving a natural handwritten cadence. The slant and tall ascenders create a strong horizontal flow, and the simplified shapes help maintain clarity even with the narrow proportions.
