A monoline handwritten script with a gently right-leaning slant and a relaxed, bouncy rhythm. Strokes are thin and even, with rounded terminals, open bowls, and frequent looped ascenders/descenders that give the alphabet a continuous, pen-drawn feel. Capitals are taller and more gestural than the lowercase, mixing simple entry strokes with occasional flourished curves, while numerals remain simple and handwritten, matching the same light line weight and rounded finishing.
Works best for short to medium headlines where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, social media overlays, and lifestyle packaging. The thin stroke and open shapes also suit light-on-ink applications such as stationery and labels, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is personable and informal, like quick neat handwriting for notes, labels, and friendly headings. Its airy line and looping forms create a soft, approachable warmth without feeling overly formal or ornamental.
Designed to emulate quick, legible cursive handwriting with a clean monoline pen stroke, balancing friendliness and readability for everyday display typography.
Letterforms show natural variation typical of hand lettering: spacing and joins feel organic, and some characters rely on open counters and long, curved strokes for clarity. The script maintains consistency in stroke behavior while keeping a lightly imperfect, human cadence across the sample text.
