A tall, slim handwritten script with a predominantly monoline feel and gently uneven stroke rhythm. Letterforms are slightly slanted with long ascenders and descenders, narrow counters, and open, looped constructions that keep the texture light on the page. Connections appear intermittent in text—some letters join while others lift—creating a natural hand-drawn cadence. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with occasional looped entries, and the overall spacing is tight but not cramped, with smooth curves and occasional tapered terminals.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display text such as quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics where a personal, handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely as an accent face on packaging or branding lockups, especially where vertical space is limited and a slim, elegant script can add personality. For best clarity, it favors larger sizes and generous leading in multi-line settings.
The font reads friendly and informal, like quick note-taking with a confident, tidy hand. Its narrow, elongated proportions add a modern, airy sophistication while the bouncy loops keep it approachable and relaxed. The tone feels upbeat and personable rather than formal or ceremonial.
The design appears intended to capture a neat, contemporary cursive handwriting style with a light footprint and expressive loops. Its narrow build and tall extenders suggest a focus on stylish display use while keeping an easygoing, human feel.
In the samples, the narrow letterforms produce a delicate, linear color that works best when given a bit of breathing room in line spacing. Some glyphs use distinctive looped descenders (notably in letters like g, y, and z), adding character and movement in longer words.
