A tall, narrow handwritten script with a smooth monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are lightly slanted but largely upright, with generous loops in capitals and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a flowing, cursive rhythm. Proportions emphasize long ascenders and descenders over a petite lowercase body, producing an airy texture and a quick, pen-drawn cadence. Spacing is compact and variable like natural handwriting, while numerals follow the same slender, simplified drawn style.
Well-suited to short, expressive copy such as logos, product labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a friendly handwritten voice is desired. It also works for pull quotes and headings, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like neat notes written with a fine-tip pen. Its slim, looping shapes and bouncy vertical rhythm give it a light, upbeat character that reads as approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, legible cursive writing with a consistent pen stroke and a narrow footprint, balancing decorative capitals with a straightforward lowercase for practical word shapes. Its emphasis on tall verticals and smooth connections suggests a goal of keeping a lively handwritten feel while remaining tidy and readable in display contexts.
Capitals tend to be more decorative, with prominent loops and occasional flourished cross-strokes, while lowercase forms stay simple and narrow for continuity in words. In continuous text the connected strokes and tight widths create a lively line, though the petite lowercase and slender build suggest it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes.
