A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a lightly bouncing baseline. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous pen-like strokes, with rounded turns, narrow proportions, and generous internal whitespace. Connections are mostly implied rather than fully joined, giving words an open, sketch-like rhythm, while ascenders and descenders are long and slender. Capitals are simplified and gestural, often resembling quick signature forms, and numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic.
Well-suited for short to medium text where a personal handwritten feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, quotes, and lifestyle branding. It works especially well in headlines and overlays where its airy strokes and narrow forms can maintain elegance without visual heaviness.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick notes, journal headings, or a casual signature. Its light, breezy stroke and relaxed shapes read as approachable and modern rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to emulate quick, natural handwriting with a clean, modern smoothness—capturing the spontaneity of pen strokes while keeping a consistent, legible rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Distinctive looped descenders (notably in g, j, y, and z) add movement and flourish without becoming ornate. The dot on i/j is small and understated, and spacing tends to feel open, supporting an uncluttered handwritten texture in longer lines.
