A slim, handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently tapered stroke endings. Letterforms lean forward with quick, fluid curves, mixing open loops with occasional sharp turns for a lively rhythm. Capitals are taller and more expressive than the lowercase, with long entry/exit strokes and simplified, single-stroke construction. Counters tend to stay open and the overall spacing feels loose and natural, reinforcing a spontaneous, pen-written texture.
Best suited to short, expressive setting such as branding accents, social posts, packaging callouts, invitations, and quote graphics. It works well as a secondary voice paired with a clean sans for headlines or emphasis, especially where a personal, handwritten touch is desired.
The font reads as informal and conversational, like quick notes or a personal signature. Its light, airy presence and energetic slant create an approachable tone that feels modern-casual rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the immediacy of fast cursive handwriting: light, nimble strokes, expressive capitals, and a natural, slightly irregular cadence that feels human and unforced.
Ascenders and descenders are notably long, giving words a tall, wiry silhouette. Joins are suggested more by proximity and flow than by strict continuous connections, so it maintains a handwritten look while staying readable in short phrases. Numerals match the same quick, single-stroke sensibility, with simple forms and minimal ornament.
