A slim, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and gently elastic rhythm. Strokes are smooth and pen-like, with rounded turns, occasional looped entries, and subtle tapering at terminals. Letterforms are narrow and compact, with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height that gives the line a delicate, vertical sparkle. Capitals are simplified yet expressive, often built from single flowing strokes; numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic with open forms and soft curves.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a handwritten feel is desired—headlines, branding marks, product packaging, social graphics, invitations, and pull quotes. It performs especially well at display sizes where the slender strokes and tall proportions can remain clear.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick, tidy note-taking that still carries flair. Its bounce and looping gestures add a friendly, slightly playful character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate fast, confident handwriting with a clean, modern simplicity—balancing legibility with expressive motion. The narrow, tall proportions and light stroke presence suggest an intention to add a personal signature-like accent without overpowering surrounding typography.
Word shapes read as a continuous, loosely connected line: some joins are implied rather than fully tied, which keeps texture open and breathable. The dot on the i is small and understated, and the long, upright t-crossings and extended loops create lively ascender activity that stands out in headings.
