A loose, connected script with a steady, pen-like stroke and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms lean forward and run on a continuous baseline with long, sweeping entry and exit strokes that create generous horizontal flow. Proportions are low and extended, with compact counters and small lowercase bodies contrasted by frequent ascenders and understated descenders. Capitals are larger and more gestural, often built from a single fluid motion, while spacing and widths vary naturally to preserve a handwritten rhythm.
Works well for short phrases where a handwritten feel is desired—greeting cards, casual invitations, quote graphics, and lifestyle branding. It can add warmth to packaging accents or headers and performs best at display sizes where its thin strokes and looping details remain clear.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, like quick notes written with a fine-tip pen. Its light touch and flowing joins read as relaxed and conversational rather than ceremonial, giving text a personable, diary-like character.
The design appears intended to capture fast, natural handwriting in a clean, legible script, balancing fluid connections with enough structure for readable words. Emphasis is placed on lightness, motion, and an authentic pen-written cadence.
Several letters feature distinctive loop construction (notably in many capitals and in forms like g, y, and z), and the dot on i is small and unobtrusive. Numerals keep the same handwritten logic, with simplified shapes and slight stylistic variation that matches the script texture.
