A monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly drawn, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are built from long vertical stems, narrow ovals, and soft loops, with occasional extended entry/exit strokes and gentle overshoots. The rhythm is relaxed and slightly irregular in a natural way, with variable connection behavior: many lowercase letters link fluidly while others break into separate strokes, giving a sketchbook feel. Capitals are simple, airy constructions—often single-stroke or lightly looped—scaled to stand above the lowercase without becoming heavy or blocky.
Best suited for short to medium lines where its light stroke and tall proportions can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, personal branding, packaging accents, and editorial pull quotes. It also works well as a secondary script paired with a sturdier sans or serif for headings and highlights.
The overall tone feels quiet, personal, and refined—like a quick note written with a fine liner. Its thin strokes and generous whitespace create an elegant, understated mood with a hint of playfulness from the looping forms and wandering baselines.
This design appears intended to capture the immediacy of neat, modern handwriting while staying restrained and legible. By keeping strokes thin and forms narrow with simple loops and clean terminals, it aims to deliver an elegant handwritten voice for contemporary display typography.
The very short lowercase bodies combined with prominent ascenders and descenders produce a strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, leaning on simple curves and open shapes that keep the texture consistent in mixed text.
