A slender, flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and tall ascenders/descenders that give lines of text a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes read as largely monoline with subtle pressure-driven modulation, and curves are drawn with smooth, continuous motion. Letterforms are narrow and elongated, with frequent loops and long entry/exit strokes; connections appear natural in lowercase, while capitals lean toward simplified, handwritten forms. Spacing is compact and the small x-height keeps counters tight, emphasizing the long extenders and overall wiry silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall extenders and narrow forms can breathe—such as signatures, logos, product packaging, pull quotes, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for subheads or accent text when paired with a simpler sans for body copy.
The font conveys a relaxed, personal note-taking feel while staying polished enough for stylish display. Its looping strokes and quick, confident gestures feel friendly and expressive, with a lightly refined, modern hand-lettered character rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture fast, natural handwriting with a refined, fashion-forward silhouette—prioritizing rhythm, movement, and a cohesive cursive flow over rigid uniformity.
Capitals tend to be taller and more open, helping words start with a clear gesture even when the rest of the line is tightly set. Numerals match the same narrow, handwritten rhythm and maintain the lightweight, sketch-like tone in running text.
