A slim, handwritten cursive with a lively rightward slant and a gently bouncy baseline. Strokes feel brush-pen inspired: mostly monoline but with frequent tapered terminals and occasional thicker downstrokes, giving a natural written rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters and tight interior spacing; ascenders rise prominently while the x-height stays noticeably small. Capitals are larger and more gestural, with simple looped construction and open, sweeping entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing word shapes.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten tone is desired—invites, quotes, headings, product labels, and social graphics. It performs best at display sizes where the slender strokes and tight counters remain clear, and where its tall proportions can add a refined, modern handwritten accent.
The font reads as friendly and personal, with an airy, upbeat energy. Its tall, slender forms and soft tapers add a touch of elegance, while the informal rhythm keeps it approachable and conversational.
Designed to mimic quick, confident handwriting with a brush-pen feel, prioritizing flow, personality, and distinctive word shapes over rigid uniformity. The narrow proportions and prominent ascenders aim to create an elegant, space-efficient script that still feels relaxed and human.
Connections between letters appear optional rather than fully continuous, so words can alternate between joined and lightly separated strokes depending on the shapes. Numerals are similarly narrow and handwritten, matching the overall slanted, tapered finish and maintaining the same light, quick-drawn character.
