A relaxed handwritten script with a fine, pen-like stroke and gently uneven rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, rounded turns, and frequent looped construction in both capitals and lowercase. Strokes stay mostly monoline with occasional subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals are soft and slightly tapered, giving the lines a quick, drawn-in-one-go feel. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, and the overall texture is light and open rather than dense.
Well suited for short to medium-length text where a casual, handmade voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, product packaging accents, and social posts. It performs best at display sizes or larger body sizes where the fine strokes and tight proportions have room to breathe.
The font reads as informal and personable, like quick notes or a handwritten caption. Its looping forms and buoyant baseline movement add a playful, slightly whimsical tone that feels approachable and human.
Designed to capture a quick, natural cursive handwriting look with minimal polish, emphasizing fluid loops, narrow tall forms, and a light, airy color on the page.
Capitals are simple but expressive, often built from long single strokes and open counters, which makes them stand out in headings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and a lightly irregular finish that matches the letters.
