A narrow, monoline handwritten script with a lightly bouncy baseline and gently irregular rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with rounded turns and soft terminals, while letterforms alternate between simple print-like shapes and cursive connections. Ascenders are tall and prominent, counters are compact, and spacing is lively—some characters sit a bit tighter while others open up, giving the line a natural hand-drawn cadence. Uppercase forms are slender and upright with occasional looped entries and exits that help words flow without feeling overly formal.
Works well for short-to-medium phrases where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—logos, boutique packaging, invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It’s especially effective at larger sizes where its narrow proportions and subtle quirks become a feature rather than visual noise.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like neat marker or pen lettering used for notes, labels, and everyday messaging. Its narrow build and playful loops give it a light, upbeat feel that reads as approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of real handwriting while staying legible and orderly, balancing cursive flow with simple structures. Its narrow proportions and restrained stroke style suggest a goal of fitting comfortably in compact spaces without losing a personal, informal character.
Distinctive looped capitals and a single-storey feel in many lowercase shapes contribute to a charming, informal texture. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, with simple forms and minimal ornament, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
