A loose, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and an airy, open texture. Strokes feel pen-drawn and fluid, with rounded terminals, occasional looped entries, and lightly inconsistent widths that reinforce the human rhythm. Capitals are tall and gesture-driven with long curved stems and simple cross-strokes, while lowercase forms stay compact with short x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, bouncy line. Numerals follow the same smooth, single-stroke logic and remain clean and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as social media graphics, product packaging accents, greeting cards, invitations, quote art, and friendly headlines. It can also work for informal wayfinding or labels when set large enough to preserve the delicate stroke and tight x-height.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick neat handwriting used for notes, captions, or casual branding. Its looping forms and lively proportions give it a cheerful, approachable character without feeling overly formal.
Designed to capture an easy, handwritten cursive feel with simple monoline construction and expressive capitals, prioritizing warmth and spontaneity over strict typographic regularity. The proportions and flowing motion aim to add personality and a human touch to display typography.
Connections between letters appear intermittent rather than strictly continuous, producing a semi-connected cursive flow with clear word shapes. The generous curves and open counters help maintain readability, especially when used with a bit of tracking and ample line spacing.
