A monoline handwritten script with a relaxed, right-leaning rhythm and softly rounded terminals. Forms are tall and slender, with generous ascenders and descenders that create a flowing vertical cadence. Strokes stay smooth and even, with occasional looped entry/exit gestures and lightly simplified joins that keep the texture open rather than densely connected. Capitals are larger and more gestural, mixing looped strokes with simple upright stems, while numerals share the same airy, handwritten construction.
Works well for short headlines, quotes, invitations, and greeting-card style messaging where an informal handwritten feel is desired. It can also suit light branding accents on packaging or social media graphics, especially when set with ample tracking and breathing room.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick but careful pen lettering. Its light, buoyant line and looping details give it a cheerful, approachable character suited to friendly communication.
Designed to mimic neat, everyday cursive writing with a simple monoline pen feel, prioritizing warmth and readability over formal calligraphic contrast. The tall proportions and gentle loops suggest an intention for elegant, lightweight script flavor without becoming ornate.
Spacing appears intentionally loose for a handwritten face, helping legibility in running text despite the narrow build. The sample lines show consistent slant and stroke behavior, producing an even, lightly textured word shape with occasional flourish on select letters (notably in some capitals and looped lowercases).
