A slender, slanted handwritten script with a quick, brush-pen feel and lightly tapered terminals. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle contrast from pressure changes, and the overall texture is smooth and continuous. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with long ascenders/descenders and open counters that keep words from feeling heavy. Connections are frequent but not rigidly consistent, creating a natural handwritten rhythm with occasional lifted joins and soft, rounded entry/exit strokes.
Works well for short-form display copy such as social graphics, quotes, cards and invitations, lifestyle branding, and light packaging labels where a personal note is desired. It’s best used at larger sizes or with generous tracking to preserve the delicate strokes and keep word shapes distinct.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a breezy, spontaneous character that feels like neat, modern handwriting. Its light touch and looping gestures give it an approachable, conversational tone suited to warm messaging rather than formal documents.
Designed to emulate a clean, contemporary cursive note—fast, legible, and expressive—balancing a refined brush-script look with enough irregularity to feel genuinely hand-written.
Capitals are simple and upright in structure but retain a calligraphic slant and fluid stroke endings, helping them blend with lowercase runs. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying narrow and lightly drawn so they don’t overpower text. Spacing is relatively open for a script, aiding clarity in short phrases while preserving a hand-done cadence.
