A relaxed handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently slanted, flowing forms. Strokes are thin and clean with subtle pressure variation, producing a light, airy color on the page. Letterforms are tall and narrow with prominent ascenders and descenders; lowercase shapes show small bodies relative to their extenders, and bowls are mostly open. Connections are frequent in running text, with smooth entry/exit strokes and occasional lifted joins that keep the rhythm lively rather than uniform.
Well-suited to short display text where a personal touch is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and social media headlines. It can also work for light branding accents on packaging or labels, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its looping strokes and soft terminals give it a cheerful, informal personality that feels conversational and human. The narrow, vertical rhythm adds a tidy, modern lightness without becoming rigid.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of cursive handwriting while keeping forms clean and consistent for digital typesetting. The intent appears to balance legibility with personality through narrow proportions, lively loops, and smooth connective strokes.
Capitals are simple and upright-leaning with minimal flourish, while several lowercase letters use pronounced loops and long tails that create expressive word shapes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slender and open, which helps them blend naturally with text.
