A slender, monoline handwritten script with tall ascenders and generous vertical reach. Strokes are smooth and lightly drawn, with rounded terminals and occasional looped joins that keep words flowing without becoming overly ornate. Letterforms stay mostly upright with a relaxed rhythm, mixing simple printed shapes (especially in caps) with more cursive, connected lowercase. Counters are open and the overall texture is light and spacious, with noticeably varied character widths and a sketch-like, human irregularity that reads as intentional and consistent.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, product labels, and boutique packaging. It can also add a personal touch to headings and callouts, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and loops remain clear.
The font feels breezy and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its thin strokes and looping connections add a soft, whimsical tone, while the mostly upright stance keeps it approachable rather than dramatic.
Designed to mimic quick, tidy handwriting with an emphasis on height and lightness, balancing readable forms with just enough cursive connection to feel fluid and personal. The consistent monoline construction and relaxed spacing suggest it’s intended for expressive display and casual messaging rather than dense body copy.
Capitals are simplified and airy, often formed from single continuous strokes, which gives headings a distinctive hand-drawn presence. Numerals are similarly light and rounded, matching the casual pen-like construction of the letters.
