A monoline, handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a right-leaning, pen-drawn rhythm. Strokes are smooth and lightly irregular, with rounded terminals and occasional looped joins that mimic continuous writing. Uppercase forms are narrow and simplified, while lowercase letters feature long ascenders/descenders, compact counters, and a lively baseline bounce. Numerals follow the same drawn, slightly idiosyncratic construction, keeping a consistent, sketchy cohesion across the set.
Works best for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten impression is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, packaging callouts, and quote treatments. It also suits headings and pull quotes where its tall, narrow rhythm can add elegance without feeling formal.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick notes or a neat, playful journal hand. Its airy texture and animated loops give it a lighthearted, approachable feel suited to friendly messaging rather than formal typography.
Designed to capture a clean, casual cursive hand with a tall silhouette and gentle slant, balancing legibility with an intentionally human, drawn character. The goal appears to be a friendly script that feels spontaneous and authentic while remaining consistent enough for everyday display use.
Letterforms show a mix of connected and loosely separated behavior in running text, contributing to a natural handwritten flow. The spacing and sidebearings vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the authentic, unforced pacing typical of handwriting.
