A slanted, monoline handwritten script with smooth, continuous strokes and rounded terminals. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with quick curves, occasional looped joins, and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that keeps it feeling hand-drawn. Uppercase characters are taller and more gestural, while the lowercase stays tight and simple, with small counters and short extenders that maintain a brisk, streamlined texture in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium lines where a personal, handwritten voice is desired, such as greeting cards, invitations, lifestyle branding, packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It also works for headers and subheads that need a friendly, informal signature-like texture.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat fast handwriting on a note or label. Its buoyant curves and easy flow give it a warm, approachable feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting with consistent monoline strokes and a flowing, connected feel. The compact proportions and brisk slant prioritize an energetic rhythm and a casual, approachable presence in display and headline settings.
Stroke endings often taper softly and curves dominate over sharp angles, helping maintain a smooth written cadence. In longer phrases the italic slant and compact proportions create a quick, energetic line, while the expressive capitals add emphasis at the start of words.
