A monoline handwritten script with a quick, upright-leaning rhythm and slender, elongated letterforms. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness with rounded terminals, occasional hooked entries, and lightly looped joins that suggest pen-on-paper motion. Capitals are simplified and narrow with airy internal spaces, while lowercase forms show tall ascenders and compact bowls; counters remain generally open for a light, uncluttered texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple single-stroke construction and soft curves that match the alphabet’s pacing.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, and lifestyle packaging where a personal handwritten tone is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headers, and brief captions, especially when given comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a neat note or casual signature. Its looping joins and relaxed proportions give it a friendly, conversational feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture a natural handwritten flow in a clean, narrow script that stays light on the page. The consistent monoline stroke and simplified letterforms aim for an easygoing, everyday feel that reads like quick handwriting rather than formal calligraphy.
Spacing is relatively tight and the long ascenders/descenders create an active vertical profile, so lines benefit from a bit of extra leading in longer passages. The distinctive handwritten forms (notably in letters with loops and descenders) add character but can reduce clarity at very small sizes.
