A slim, right-slanted handwritten print with a monoline feel and soft, slightly rounded terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and drawn with quick, confident strokes, producing a lively rhythm and small natural irregularities. Proportions are tall and compact, with narrow counters and open shapes that keep the texture light and airy. Capitals are simple and upright in construction but follow the same forward slant, while lowercase shows modest ascenders/descenders and a tight, understated x-height.
Works well for short, friendly copy such as branding accents, packaging callouts, posters, invitations, and social graphics where a personal voice is desired. It is especially effective at medium-to-large sizes where the narrow strokes and tall proportions can breathe and read clearly.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like neat notes written with a fine-tip pen. Its forward motion and light touch feel energetic without becoming noisy, giving it an approachable, everyday charm.
Designed to evoke a quick, informal handwritten note while staying legible through simple, print-like structures. The emphasis appears to be on speed, warmth, and a light typographic color rather than polished calligraphy.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a hand-drawn way, which adds character in short settings but can create a slightly bouncy line texture in longer passages. Numerals follow the same slim, cursive-leaning construction, staying consistent with the letterforms.
