A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and gently looping forms. Strokes are thin and even, with soft entry/exit terminals that often extend into light swashes. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, elegant rhythm; bowls tend to be open and lightly rounded rather than tightly closed. Connection behavior feels informal—many lowercase letters naturally link while others break into discrete strokes—producing a lively, drawn-by-hand texture rather than strict calligraphic continuity.
This font suits short to medium-length text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, product tags, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best at moderate sizes with comfortable spacing, where the fine strokes and tall proportions can remain clear.
The overall tone is light and personable, reading as quick penmanship with a slightly romantic, whimsical flair. Its narrow, upright-tall rhythm and looping joins give it a gentle sophistication while still feeling approachable and casual.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, slender pen handwriting with a relaxed flow—balancing graceful loops and occasional swash-like terminals with an intentionally imperfect, human cadence.
Capitals show more variation and flourish than the lowercase, helping with emphasis in titles but also increasing irregularity if overused. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten construction, with simple curves and minimal ornament, and punctuation appears understated to match the line weight.
