A monoline handwritten script with rounded terminals, open bowls, and gently tilted, flowing strokes. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a soft, bouncy baseline rhythm and modest ascenders/descenders that keep words compact. Forms favor simple curves and looped joins, with occasional lifted connections that preserve a hand-drawn feel while staying visually consistent across the set. Numerals match the same airy, single-stroke character and rounded geometry.
Well-suited to short to medium lines where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, light packaging labels, and social media headlines. It can also work for small blocks of display text when you want an easygoing, handwritten texture without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is warm and personable, like neat everyday handwriting. Its light, loopy motion reads informal and upbeat, lending a relaxed charm without feeling messy or overly decorative.
Designed to capture a tidy, approachable cursive style with smooth loops and consistent monoline strokes, balancing legibility with an unmistakably hand-written cadence. The narrow proportions and airy texture suggest an intention for friendly display use and compact, flowing word shapes.
Capitals are simplified and slightly embellished with subtle entry/exit strokes, giving headings a friendly signature-like presence. Spacing appears comfortable in text samples, and the even stroke weight keeps the texture light and open on the page.
