A slim, monoline handwritten script with a steady upright posture and an open, airy rhythm. Strokes look pen-drawn and slightly elastic, with gentle loops and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest natural writing motion. Letterforms are generally narrow with tall ascenders and long, clean descenders; counters stay open and uncluttered. Connections appear in many lowercase letters, but spacing and joining are relaxed rather than tightly continuous, giving the text a light, legible flow.
Well-suited for short to medium-length copy where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, packaging callouts, and quote-style headlines. It works best with generous tracking and line spacing, and pairs cleanly with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its soft curves and looping details add a playful, personable feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the look of tidy, everyday handwriting in a lightweight, readable form, balancing cursive motion with clear letter shapes for friendly display and branding applications.
Capitals are simple and tall with minimal flourish, while several lowercase forms lean on looped construction (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z), which adds character in longer words. Numerals match the same narrow, hand-drawn logic and remain clear at a glance.
