A delicate, pen-like script with a consistent, mostly monoline stroke and a steady rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, elegant rhythm. Curves are softly looped (notably in letters like g, y, and z), while capitals mix restrained flourishes with simplified structures for readability. Spacing is open and the baseline shows a gentle, handwritten bounce that keeps the texture light and animated.
Well-suited to short-to-medium phrases where a handwritten voice is desired: invitations, stationery, greeting cards, pull quotes, and lifestyle branding. It can add a refined, personal touch to packaging and social posts, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and loops have room to breathe.
The overall tone is personal and optimistic, like quick, neat handwriting with a touch of sophistication. Its slim strokes and elongated forms feel graceful and slightly romantic, while the informal joins and varied letter widths keep it friendly and approachable.
Designed to emulate quick, stylish handwriting with a clean pen-stroke feel—prioritizing elegance and lightness while staying legible in everyday words. The narrow, elongated proportions and looped movement suggest a script meant to add personality without becoming overly ornamental.
Connections appear natural and selective rather than rigidly continuous, which helps avoid dark knots in longer words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic—slender, slightly irregular, and easygoing—blending smoothly with the lowercase texture in mixed copy.
