A slender, hand-drawn script with an inky, monoline feel and occasional pressure-like modulation. Strokes are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, producing a light, vertical rhythm. Letterforms mix simplified print-style structures with cursive joins, and several capitals use open loops and elongated entry/exit strokes. Terminals are tapered or slightly hooked, with small irregularities and stroke wobble that reinforce an authentic handwritten texture.
Well-suited for short to medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, boutique packaging, café menus, invitations, and social graphics. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to preserve its fine strokes and tight proportions.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its narrow, lofty proportions and lively loops add a gentle whimsy, while the upright stance keeps it readable and tidy. It feels approachable and informal rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of a quick, neat handwritten script while maintaining consistent proportions for repeatable typography. The narrow build, long extenders, and loopy capitals aim to create recognizable word shapes with a friendly, contemporary handmade character.
Capitals are especially expressive, with sweeping crossbars (notably on T) and looped forms (such as Q and B) that create distinctive word shapes. Lowercase forms are compact with minimal counters and a somewhat abbreviated x-height, which emphasizes the long extenders. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
