A monoline handwritten script with a lively, right-leaning rhythm and narrow letterforms. Strokes keep a consistent pen-like thickness, with rounded turns, open counters, and frequent looped entry/exit strokes that suggest continuous writing even where letters are not fully connected. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while the lowercase body stays compact, giving the overall texture a light, vertical feel. Uppercase forms are simplified and gestural, pairing well with the lowercase without becoming overly ornate, and numerals follow the same handwritten logic with smooth curves and minimal construction.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text such as social posts, invitations and greeting cards, boutique packaging, and brand marks that want a handwritten signature feel. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headings, and accent text when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick, neat handwriting used for notes, labels, or a friendly message. Its buoyant loops and relaxed proportions create a warm, approachable voice that feels contemporary and conversational rather than formal or ceremonial.
Designed to capture a natural, everyday cursive voice with clean monoline strokes and subtle loops, prioritizing a quick handwritten impression and an easygoing reading rhythm. The narrow build and tall ascenders aim to keep words light and elegant while still feeling spontaneous and human.
Spacing appears intentionally loose and breathy, helping the narrow strokes avoid visual crowding in words. The baseline feels slightly lively rather than rigid, and the capitals read best as initial or display accents due to their more calligraphic, drawn quality.
