A slanted handwritten script with smooth, continuous strokes and a lightly bouncy baseline. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with rounded curves, looped ascenders/descenders, and compact counters that keep the texture tight. Strokes read as mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals tend to finish in soft hooks and tapered entries. Capitals are simplified and slightly swashy without becoming ornate, while the numerals follow the same cursive rhythm and open, airy curves.
Well suited to short display text where a handwritten feel is desirable: logos, product packaging, café or lifestyle branding, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It works best when given room to breathe and when set at sizes where the narrow forms and loops remain clearly legible.
The overall tone feels personable and upbeat, like quick, confident handwriting used for notes or friendly branding. Its narrow, energetic rhythm and looping forms give it a lightly retro, informal charm while still staying clean and readable at display sizes.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural cursive writing while keeping a controlled, consistent rhythm for typesetting. The narrow proportions and restrained flourish suggest an intention to deliver a distinctive handwritten voice that stays tidy and usable across common display applications.
The alphabet shows a consistent rightward slant and smooth joining behavior in lowercase, with occasional standalone forms that still align well in words. Spacing appears tight and continuous, producing an even, flowing line in the sample text, with distinctive looped shapes (notably in letters with descenders and in several capitals) that add character without heavy ornament.
