A delicate, monoline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from thin, continuous lines with soft loops and occasional extended cross-strokes, giving a quick, sketch-like rhythm. Capitals are tall and gestural with open counters and fluid diagonals, while lowercase stays compact with small bowls and modest terminals, producing an overall light, spacious texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, using simple, slightly angular forms with smooth curves and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for short, expressive text such as signatures, invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for lightweight packaging and social graphics where a handwritten accent is needed, ideally at larger sizes to preserve the fine strokes.
The tone feels intimate and personal, like swift pen-on-paper handwriting meant for a note or signature. Its light touch and flowing motion convey a gentle, refined mood while staying informal rather than formal script.
Designed to emulate fast, elegant handwriting with a clean monoline pen feel—prioritizing gesture and flow over rigid construction. The forms aim to add a personal, stylish accent to headings and highlight text without the heaviness of a formal calligraphic script.
Spacing reads intentionally open, which helps the thin strokes breathe, but the long ascenders, descenders, and crossbars can create lively overlaps in tighter settings. The strongest visual identity comes from the high slant, the lean verticals, and the sweeping connections that keep words moving forward.
