A narrow, handwritten cursive with a mostly monoline stroke that shows subtle pressure-driven modulation at curves and terminals. Letterforms are tall and slim with long ascenders and descenders, rounded bowls, and frequent looped constructions, creating a lively vertical rhythm. Strokes end in soft, brushy terminals and occasional slight overshoots, while spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, penned feel.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a friendly, human voice is desired—such as brand marks and taglines, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. It also suits headers and accents alongside a neutral sans for body copy, where its narrow footprint can help fit longer words without feeling heavy.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, with an upbeat, informal energy that reads like quick, confident handwriting. Its loopiness and buoyant rhythm give it a light, conversational character suited to warm, approachable messaging.
Designed to capture an everyday cursive hand with a compact, vertical footprint and expressive loops, balancing legibility with a clearly handmade signature-like personality.
Capitals are simple and high-reaching, pairing cleanly with the lowercase without feeling overly formal. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with slender forms and rounded turns, keeping the texture consistent in mixed text.
