A light, handwritten cursive with a monoline feel and gently tapered stroke ends. Letterforms are narrow and slightly right-leaning, with variable advance widths and a lively baseline rhythm that mimics quick pen writing. Uppercase characters are tall and open, often built from single, continuous strokes with occasional looped construction; lowercase forms are compact with simple joins and a restrained x-height relative to ascenders. Numerals are similarly slim and rounded, keeping the same loose, drawn-by-hand consistency.
Well suited for short to medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best when given generous size and breathing room, allowing the thin strokes and loops to stay clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like a neat note written with a fine pen. Its airy spacing, open counters, and relaxed curves give it a friendly, approachable character with a touch of playful spontaneity.
Designed to capture the look of quick, elegant handwriting in a clean, streamlined way. The narrow proportions and simple pen-like construction aim for a legible, contemporary script that feels informal while remaining tidy and controlled.
Stroke behavior shows small irregularities and occasional overlaps that read as intentional hand motion rather than geometric precision. Connections between letters are intermittent in mixed-case text, reinforcing the natural, written cadence and keeping the texture light at larger sizes.
