A slender, pen-like cursive with a lightly modulated stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and compact with generous ascenders and descenders, producing a vertically oriented rhythm and a delicate overall texture. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with frequent looped constructions in capitals and select lowercase letters, plus open, simplified joins that keep the writing readable rather than densely connected. Spacing feels naturally irregular in a handwritten way, and the numerals match the same narrow, flowing construction.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display settings such as logos, boutique branding, packaging callouts, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings where a personal, handwritten tone is desired, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and tight proportions remain clear.
The font reads as informal and personable, with an airy elegance that feels contemporary rather than ornate. Its looping capitals add a touch of charm, while the thin stroke and upright-tall posture keep the tone light, clean, and approachable.
Designed to emulate quick, confident handwriting with a fine pen: narrow, upright-tall letterforms, light stroke presence, and selectively looped capitals that provide personality. The overall construction prioritizes a breezy, modern handwritten feel that can read as both casual and slightly refined.
Capitals are expressive and signature-like, often built from a single continuous stroke with prominent loops. Lowercase forms stay relatively restrained, with small bodies and long stems that create a distinct high/low cadence across words; this gives headings a lively, handwritten presence without heavy flourish.
