A slim, handwritten script with tall ascenders and descenders, narrow proportions, and a lively rightward slant. Strokes read as pen-like and mostly monoline, with slight modulation from pressure and quick turns. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with open counters and generous white space that keeps the texture light. Capitals are simple and upright-leaning with occasional looped entries, while lowercase shows fluid joins and occasional lifted strokes that preserve an improvised, drawn rhythm.
Works well for short to medium-length phrases where a casual, personal voice is desirable—greeting cards, invitations, social posts, pull quotes, labels, and boutique packaging. It is especially effective at larger sizes where the delicate strokes and narrow structure remain clear.
The overall tone feels personable and relaxed, like quick note-taking or a friendly signature. Its light, bouncy movement and looping forms give it an upbeat, approachable character rather than a formal calligraphic one.
Designed to emulate quick, natural cursive writing with a light touch, prioritizing warmth and spontaneity over strict regularity. The narrow, tall forms suggest an intent to fit comfortably in tight horizontal spaces while still feeling expressive.
Spacing and join behavior vary slightly from letter to letter, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn feel. Numerals are simple and handwritten, matching the same slender stroke and informal construction.
