A monoline, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a quick, pen-drawn rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even and light, with smooth curves, narrow letterforms, and a slightly bouncy baseline that adds motion. Many shapes use open counters and simplified joins, mixing occasional entry/exit strokes with more separated, note-like lowercase forms; capitals are taller and more gestural, often built from long arcs and loops. Numerals match the same loose, handwritten construction with open curves and minimal detailing.
Works best for short to medium-length display text such as quotes, greeting cards, invitations, social media graphics, and casual packaging where a personal handwritten feel is desired. It can also suit branding accents like taglines or signatures when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick handwritten notes or casual signatures. Its airy spacing and flowing strokes feel friendly and approachable, with a lively, conversational energy rather than a formal calligraphic mood.
Designed to capture the immediacy of real handwriting with smooth, pen-like strokes and a flowing slant, prioritizing personality and motion over strict formality. The narrow proportions and open shapes help it stay light and agile in headings and expressive lines of text.
The font’s character comes from its long, sweeping ascenders/descenders and relaxed connections, which create a flowing line even when letters are not fully joined. Some glyphs lean into distinctive looped constructions (notably in several capitals and letters like g, y, and z), giving headings a recognizable handwritten flair.
