A monoline handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and generous vertical reach. Strokes are smooth and lightly irregular, preserving a drawn-by-hand rhythm with rounded joins, occasional looping terminals, and simplified, open counters. Uppercase forms are larger and more gestural than the lowercase, with a mix of lightly connected and broken connections in running text that keeps the texture lively. Numerals and punctuation follow the same spare, single-stroke feel, maintaining an uncluttered, airy color on the page.
Well suited to short-to-medium phrases where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, journaling-style layouts, and light packaging or label applications. It also works effectively for headings or callouts where a casual script texture is needed without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a playful, slightly quirky charm. Its narrow, vertical proportions and looping details give it a light, note-like friendliness that feels conversational rather than formal.
Designed to evoke quick, natural handwriting in a clean monoline style, balancing legibility with an expressive, looping gesture. The intent reads as an easygoing script for friendly messaging and informal branding.
Spacing appears relaxed with noticeable variation between letter widths, and the baseline shows subtle handwritten waviness. The capitals have a prominent presence and can read as decorative initials in longer lines of text.
