A slender handwritten script with a lively, upright-leaning slant and an airy, open texture. Strokes show a pen-like rhythm with occasional swell and taper, producing crisp joins and soft terminals rather than geometric endings. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with prominent ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, calligraphic silhouette. Connectivity is intermittent: many lowercase letters link smoothly, while others break into separate strokes, giving the line a natural written cadence.
Works best for short to medium text where a handwritten personality is desired—headlines, product labels, invites, quotes, and social media graphics. The narrow, tall rhythm also suits space-conscious layouts such as tags, menus, and small packaging callouts when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is warm and conversational, like quick note-taking with a neat hand. Its looping forms and springy motion feel approachable and slightly whimsical, suitable for messages that should read as personal rather than formal.
Designed to emulate a tidy, modern cursive hand with enough irregularity to feel human, while keeping shapes consistent for repeated use in branding and display settings. The emphasis on tall proportions and clean loops suggests an intent to stay elegant and readable without losing informality.
Caps are simple and elongated, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase without becoming overly decorative. Round characters (like O/Q/0) stay open and light, while letters with loops (g, y, j) add expressive movement. Numerals match the script’s narrow proportions and maintain the same hand-drawn consistency.
