A slanted, monoline handwritten script with smooth curves and a lightly bouncy baseline. Strokes are rounded and consistent, with gentle entry and exit strokes that often encourage joining in text, while letter widths vary naturally like quick pen writing. Capitals are simplified and open, with occasional loops and long, sweeping strokes that add motion without becoming ornate. Counters stay fairly open and the overall rhythm is compact, giving lines a tidy, narrow footprint despite the freehand character.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where a human touch is desired—brand accents, packaging callouts, social media graphics, invitations, and quote-style headlines. It also works nicely for signatures or personal notes, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the loops and joins breathe.
The font feels informal and personable, like a neat handwritten note. Its flowing motion and soft terminals create an easygoing, friendly tone, while the restrained ornamentation keeps it practical and readable.
Designed to capture the look of quick, confident cursive writing with consistent stroke weight and clean, rounded forms. The intent appears to balance natural handwriting variation with enough regularity to stay legible across words and short paragraphs.
Numbers and capitals follow the same pen-written logic as the lowercase, with rounded forms and minimal sharp corners. In continuous text, the connecting behavior and angled stress create a steady forward momentum that reads like natural cursive rather than a rigid display script.
