A slim, monoline handwritten script with tall, elongated proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with rounded terminals, occasional hairpin joins, and lightly looped constructions in both capitals and lowercase. Uppercase letters are narrow and towering, often built from single continuous strokes with simple crossbars and minimal ornament. Lowercase forms keep a petite body with small counters and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a gently connected flow, while descenders (such as g, j, y) swing into long, rounded loops. Numerals are similarly spare and slender, matching the font’s light, drawn-line character.
Best suited for short to medium phrases where its delicate line and tall loops can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for bylines, signatures, and headings where a personal handwritten touch is desired.
The overall tone feels personal and breezy, like quick neat handwriting used for notes, captions, and signatures. Its tall, looping forms add a soft, slightly whimsical elegance without becoming formal or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, modern handwritten look with an elegant vertical stretch and understated looping, offering an informal cursive voice that stays legible in display-size settings.
Spacing and letter widths vary in a natural handwritten way, and the joining behavior is loose—some pairs connect smoothly while others read as lightly separated strokes. The narrow structure and thin lines emphasize verticality, giving lines of text a graceful, threadlike texture.
