A slender, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Strokes are smooth and lightly tensioned, with rounded turns and occasional tapered terminals that feel pen-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Letterforms show a mix of connected and gently separated joins, creating a flowing rhythm without becoming tightly bound. Uppercase shapes are especially tall and narrow with simplified structures and minimal ornament, while lowercase forms keep small bowls and compact counters that reinforce the linear, airy texture. Numerals follow the same spare, single-stroke logic with open curves and understated shapes.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a handwritten personality is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best at comfortable sizes where the fine strokes and compact internal spaces remain clear, and where generous tracking and leading can emphasize its airy cadence.
The overall tone is intimate and understated, like neat personal handwriting on a card or note. Its thin strokes and open rhythm give it a refined, breezy feel that reads as modern-casual rather than formal calligraphy.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, contemporary handwriting look with an elegant verticality—prioritizing flow and personal charm over strict typographic regularity. It aims to provide a lightweight signature-style texture that can add warmth and refinement to headlines and highlight phrases.
Verticals dominate the silhouette, producing a light, ladder-like texture in words, especially in sequences of stems (m/n/u). Curves stay narrow and upright, and the long ascenders/descenders add a graceful, slightly dramatic line length that becomes more apparent in sentence settings.
