A slender, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a tall, vertically stretched silhouette. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded turns, open loops, and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest quick pen movement. The caps are narrow and expressive with elongated stems, while lowercase forms are compact with prominent ascenders and descenders, creating a high-rise rhythm and a lightly bouncy baseline.
Works best for short to medium lines where its tall loops and narrow rhythm can read as intentional style—such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, boutique packaging, and display headlines. For longer passages or small sizes, it will be more effective as an accent rather than body text.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like neat handwriting on a note or invitation. Its tall, looping forms add a touch of whimsy and elegance without feeling formal, leaning more toward approachable charm than polish.
Designed to capture a light, contemporary cursive handwriting feel with graceful verticality and easy, pen-drawn continuity. The intention appears to be a legible yet playful script that adds personality and warmth to titles and short phrases.
Spacing and letter widths vary in a natural handwritten way, and many characters show gentle hooks or loops that help maintain flow in words. Numerals share the same narrow, upright energy and simple handwritten construction, staying consistent with the letterforms.
