A casual handwritten script with monoline strokes, tall ascenders, and a compact lowercase that sits low relative to the capitals. Letterforms are built from quick, slightly uneven pen movements, with gently rounded joins and occasional open counters that keep the texture airy. The alphabet mixes simple print-like structures with cursive tendencies, producing a lively rhythm and a lightly irregular baseline/spacing typical of natural handwriting.
Works well for short, expressive copy such as quotes, titles, poster headlines, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a personal handwritten feel is desired. It can also suit light branding accents and packaging callouts, especially when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The font conveys an informal, personal tone—approachable and a bit quirky, like notes written with a fine marker or pen. Its tall, narrow silhouettes and relaxed stroke behavior give it an expressive, human presence without feeling heavy or ornate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of quick handwriting—simple, narrow forms with subtle irregularities that keep the voice human and conversational. The emphasis on tall, slender shapes suggests an intention to stay space-efficient while still feeling expressive and hand-made.
Capitals read as prominent and elongated, giving headlines a distinctive vertical emphasis. The numerals are similarly hand-drawn and slender, matching the overall texture. At smaller sizes the fine strokes and tight interior spaces may require extra breathing room in tracking and line spacing for best legibility.
