A monoline handwritten script with tall, narrow letterforms and a quick, slightly right-leaning rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness with rounded turns and occasional tapered terminals, creating a fluid, pen-drawn feel. Uppercase forms are long and linear with high ascenders and simplified bowls, while lowercase has a very small x-height and frequent looped extenders that add vertical sparkle. Spacing and widths vary naturally, and connections appear intermittent—more like fast handwriting than a fully joined formal script.
Works well for short phrases, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle branding where an authentic handwritten voice is desired. It can also suit packaging accents and poster headlines when set large enough to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels informal and personal, like notes written with a fine marker or pen. Its tall, wiry shapes and bouncy loops give it an energetic, slightly quirky character that reads as human and spontaneous rather than polished or calligraphic.
Designed to capture quick, natural handwriting in a clean monoline style, emphasizing tall proportions, lively loops, and a casual rhythm for expressive display use.
The font’s legibility improves with generous size and line spacing, since the small x-height and long ascenders/descenders can make dense text feel busy. Numerals and capitals echo the same narrow, upright structure, helping headings and short bursts of text feel consistent.
