A slim, handwritten script with a monoline feel and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow counters and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes look like quick pen or marker writing: smooth and continuous with occasional tapered ends and small hook-like terminals. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with minimal flourish, while lowercase forms introduce soft loops and occasional entry/exit strokes that help words flow without becoming overly ornate. Numerals match the same narrow, hand-drawn rhythm and keep an open, legible structure.
Well-suited to short to medium-length text where a friendly handwritten tone is needed, such as pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, and social media graphics. It can also work for headers and display lines on posters or menus where a compact, hand-lettered look helps save space.
The overall tone is relaxed and approachable, like personal notes or casual signage. Its quick, confident strokes and compact spacing give it an energetic, conversational voice that feels modern and informal rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to mimic quick, neat handwriting in a condensed, upright-friendly footprint, balancing casual personality with readability. The forms prioritize flow and rhythm over strict uniformity, aiming for an authentic handwritten impression that stays clean in display use.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and vertical proportions are emphasized, which can make long words feel compact and efficient. The handwritten irregularities are controlled and consistent enough to read well in sentences while still preserving a natural, human cadence.
