A relaxed, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a light, monoline-like stroke that shows subtle contrast from pen pressure. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, long ascenders, and small, delicate lowercase shapes that sit low relative to their height. Curves are smooth and slightly bouncy, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped constructions in capitals and descenders. Terminals are rounded and tapered, giving the outlines a soft, drawn-by-hand finish rather than a rigid geometric feel.
Works well for short-to-medium display text such as brand marks, boutique packaging, café menus, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal voice is desired. It’s especially effective in headlines, pull quotes, and signatures, and can support brief captions when set large enough to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is informal and personable, reading like quick, neat handwriting. Its airy rhythm and lively curves feel approachable and upbeat, suitable for messaging that aims to be warm rather than formal. The italic movement and looping gestures add a touch of charm and spontaneity.
Designed to emulate fluid everyday penmanship with a tidy, stylish slant and a gentle, modern script rhythm. The goal appears to balance legibility with handwritten character, using compact proportions and looping accents to create an identifiable, friendly texture in words.
Capitals are expressive and varied, often built with sweeping strokes that create strong word-shape at display sizes. Spacing appears relatively tight in running text, and the narrow build encourages a vertical, elegant silhouette; at smaller sizes, the fine strokes and small counters may benefit from generous size or simpler backgrounds.
