A narrow, monoline handwritten script with rounded terminals and a lightly bouncing baseline. Strokes stay low-contrast and smooth, with simplified joins and occasional looped forms in letters like g, y, and Q. Uppercase characters are tall and slender with open curves and restrained flourish, while lowercase forms are compact with short extenders and a modest x-height. Spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs, reinforcing an organic pen-drawn rhythm.
Well-suited to short headlines, quotes, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for boutique packaging or small brand accents when used at moderate-to-large sizes to preserve the airy, pen-drawn details.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like neat personal handwriting in a greeting card or journal. Its narrow, lively shapes and soft curves give it a playful, approachable feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture a tidy, modern handwritten look with a narrow footprint and an easy, conversational flow. The forms prioritize quick readability and an everyday, human warmth over formal calligraphic structure.
The font reads cleanly at display sizes thanks to consistent stroke thickness and uncluttered counters, while the narrow proportions help fit longer words into tighter spaces. Numerals match the handwritten character, staying simple and rounded with an easy, casual cadence.
