A lively, handwritten script with a consistent, monoline stroke and a slight rightward slant. The letterforms are tall and lean, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase proportions that create an airy texture in text. Strokes show subtle pen-like tapering at terminals and occasional flicks, giving the outlines an organic, drawn-by-hand rhythm rather than rigid repetition. Uppercase forms are simplified and upright-leaning with open counters, while the lowercase mixes gentle joins with clear, separated shapes, supporting quick reading at moderate sizes.
Works well for short-to-medium text where a human touch is desirable: invitations, cards, craft branding, packaging labels, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It is especially effective in headings or highlighted phrases where the tall, lean shapes and looping descenders can contribute personality without heavy visual weight.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like a neat note written with a felt-tip pen. Its light, springy rhythm and looping extenders add a playful warmth without becoming overly decorative, making it well suited to friendly, conversational messaging.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a clean monoline feel, balancing charm and legibility. The narrow, tall proportions and gentle slant aim to keep text compact while preserving a natural, handwritten flow.
Capitals are relatively narrow and vertical, helping headlines stay compact, while distinctive loops in letters like g, j, y, and z add character. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the same stroke weight and relaxed curvature as the letters.
