A monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and a loose, handwritten rhythm. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded terminals and gently looped joins that suggest a continuous pen motion rather than rigid construction. Proportions are compact with modest ascenders/descenders and a small lowercase body, while capitals are taller and more gestural, often starting with a lead-in stroke. Counters remain open and forms are simplified, giving the overall texture a clean, lightly sketched appearance.
Well-suited for short-to-medium copy where a human touch is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, lifestyle packaging, and pull quotes. It works especially well for names, headings, and accent text paired with a neutral sans or serif for longer reading.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or card. Its light, flowing motion reads friendly and relaxed, with a subtle playfulness coming from the looped strokes and lively slant.
Designed to evoke natural pen-written cursive with a tidy, modern feel—prioritizing a smooth flow, easy readability, and an approachable handwritten character over formal calligraphic detail.
Capitals show more flourish than the lowercase, creating a natural headline contrast when used in mixed case. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and legible with the same gentle tilt and rounded finishing strokes.
