A slender, handwritten print with a consistent, pen-like line and a gently slanted stance. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle pressure-like swelling on curves, and terminals are clean and lightly tapered rather than blunt. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous inner counters and plenty of white space, giving the alphabet an open, breathable rhythm. The drawing is intentionally informal: baselines wobble slightly, curves stay soft, and joins are simple, keeping the texture light and flowing in text.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a handwritten feel is desired—quotes, product callouts, card and invitation text, and social media graphics. It can also work for light branding accents and packaging labels where an informal, personal tone is needed, especially at larger sizes where the delicate strokes remain clear.
The overall tone feels personal and upbeat, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its light texture and relaxed irregularities read approachable rather than formal, with a breezy, conversational energy that suits modern, casual communication.
Designed to mimic fast, natural handwriting in an unconnected print style, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect hand-drawn character. The narrow, airy proportions and soft curves aim to keep text light and elegant while still feeling friendly and human.
Uppercase forms have an expressive, handwritten personality with occasional loop-like gestures and simplified structures, while lowercase remains compact and neat, helping lines of text stay tidy despite the loose hand. Numerals are similarly thin and rounded, matching the same quick, drawn rhythm.
