A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a gently forward slant. Strokes move with a quick, pen-like rhythm, showing pronounced thick–thin contrast and frequent tapered terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected but share a consistent cursive motion, with long ascenders/descenders, open bowls, and occasional looped constructions (notably in capitals and several lowercase). Crossbars and joins are light and gestural, and spacing varies naturally, giving the line a lively, handwritten cadence.
Well-suited to short, expressive settings such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social graphics where a personal handwritten tone is desired. It can also work for boutique packaging or headline accents when paired with a calm, legible companion text face.
The overall tone feels light, breezy, and personable—like an informal note written with a fine pen. Its brisk, slightly dramatic contrasts add a touch of elegance while staying relaxed and approachable.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of quick cursive handwriting while keeping a refined, airy presence through slender strokes and sharp tapering. Its slightly irregular rhythm prioritizes personality and charm over strict uniformity.
Capitals are expressive and taller than the lowercase, often built from single sweeping strokes. Lowercase shows a compact body with prominent extenders, and punctuation/figures follow the same handwritten logic—simple, rounded, and slightly irregular for authenticity.
