A slim, right-leaning handwritten script with a loose, brush-pen feel. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle pressure changes and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm. Letterforms are compact and slightly irregular in width, with open counters and rounded turns; terminals often finish in quick flicks or soft hooks. The lowercase is compact with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing stays open enough for the texture to breathe even as forms remain narrow.
Well-suited to short display text where a personal voice is desirable—brand marks, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It can also work for headings and subheads in editorial or lifestyle contexts when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting in ink. Its slightly bouncy motion and textured, imperfect edges give it an approachable, human character that feels contemporary rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural cursive writing: quick strokes, gentle texture, and a relaxed rhythm that prioritizes warmth and authenticity over strict uniformity.
Uppercase forms read as simplified, handwritten caps rather than ornate swashes, keeping the set usable in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and light tapering, maintaining a consistent, sketch-like texture across letters and figures.
