A casual handwritten script with a slightly brushy, monoline stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Forms are built from quick, continuous gestures with rounded turns, open counters, and occasional looped entries and exits. Uppercase letters are tall and simplified, while lowercase is compact with short bodies and long, swinging ascenders and descenders that add rhythm. Spacing and widths vary naturally, producing an uneven, human cadence; numerals follow the same informal construction with rounded terminals and smooth curves.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, and lifestyle packaging where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and brand accents, and can be used in brief sentences where the lively rhythm remains legible.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a quick note written with a felt-tip pen. Its loose rhythm and soft curves feel approachable and upbeat, with a lightly energetic bounce rather than strict polish.
Designed to capture the immediacy of everyday cursive—quick strokes, natural variability, and a relaxed slant—while staying clean enough for repeated use in design. The character set emphasizes expressive capitals and rhythmic extenders to create distinctive word silhouettes.
Connections between letters appear optional and intermittent in running text, so the texture reads as cursive handwriting without rigid joining rules. Terminals are generally tapered and slightly irregular, reinforcing the hand-drawn character, and long extenders can create expressive word shapes in headlines.
