A slender, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a quick, brush-pen rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact with narrow set widths, long ascenders and descenders, and a very small lowercase body height relative to capitals. Strokes show subtle pressure variation and occasional tapered terminals, with smooth curves and open counters that keep the texture light. Uppercase forms are simplified and slightly irregular in a natural way, while lowercase shapes lean toward connected, cursive construction with gentle loops and soft joins.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, quote graphics, and social media headers. It can also work for light editorial accents (pull quotes, section openers) when set with generous spacing and adequate size.
The overall tone is friendly and personal, like neat fast handwriting. Its light, airy color and flowing motion add a touch of understated elegance without feeling formal or rigid. The lively stroke cadence gives it an approachable, contemporary handmade character.
Designed to capture the immediacy of handwriting while maintaining consistent rhythm and legibility across an alphabet, with a focus on slender proportions and flowing movement for modern, elegant casual messaging.
Capitals read as tall and expressive with minimal ornament, helping them stand out in mixed-case settings. The numerals are similarly slim and handwritten, matching the same light stroke and forward motion, and the punctuation in the samples blends in with the fluid, pen-drawn feel.
