A loose, pen-script style with smooth, monoline strokes and a gentle forward slant. Letterforms are tall and relatively compact in their set width, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that gives lowercase words a delicate, stringy rhythm. Curves are rounded and open, joins are selective rather than fully continuous, and terminals tend to taper softly as if lifted from the page. Capitals are simplified and narrow with occasional looped entries, while numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded bowls and light, continuous strokes.
Well-suited to short to medium display text where a friendly handwritten voice is needed—greeting cards, invitations, boutique packaging, café menus, social graphics, and pull quotes. It works best at moderate sizes where the slim strokes and small x-height remain clear, and where generous line spacing can accommodate the long ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a card or label. Its narrow, looping forms feel lighthearted and approachable, balancing spontaneity with enough consistency to read as a cohesive script.
Designed to emulate a neat, modern handwritten script with a light touch: tall proportions, simple looped gestures, and readable shapes that feel personal without becoming overly formal. The emphasis appears to be on quick, natural flow and an airy, contemporary casualness for branding and display.
Spacing appears slightly loose for a script, helping keep counters open and reducing collisions despite the tall extenders. The sample text shows an energetic baseline with small variations in stroke direction that reinforce a natural, hand-drawn texture.
