A monoline handwritten script with a right-leaning, lightly irregular rhythm and frequent looped strokes. Letterforms are compact and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, airy silhouette. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded terminals and occasional soft entry/exit flicks; spacing is slightly uneven in a natural hand-drawn way, and joins appear in many lowercase shapes while capitals remain more standalone and simplified.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where an informal, human touch is desired—such as social media graphics, greeting cards, invites, labels, and lifestyle packaging. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and signature-style name treatments when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The tone feels casual and personable, like quick neat handwriting used for notes or captions. Its light, open presence reads friendly and approachable, with a playful, relaxed energy rather than a formal calligraphic mood.
Designed to emulate neat everyday handwriting with a smooth, continuous pen feel, balancing legibility with a relaxed, personal character. The narrow, upright-tall proportions and looping joins suggest an intention to stay elegant and space-efficient while remaining informal and friendly.
Uppercase characters are slender and gestural, with simple structures and occasional loop details (notably in letters like B, D, and Q). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying clean and minimal with rounded curves and straightforward construction.
