A thin, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and softly tapered terminals that mimic a quick pen stroke. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with generous vertical rhythm, compact lowercase bodies, and prominent ascenders/descenders that give lines a light, wiry texture. Curves are rounded and open, and many capitals incorporate large, simple loops; joins appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, keeping the overall flow loose and sketch-like.
Best suited for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—such as headlines, pull quotes, card designs, invitations, and boutique branding or packaging. The very fine stroke and narrow build favor larger sizes and open spacing, especially on screens or when printing on textured stock.
The font feels lighthearted and personal, like neat handwriting in a notebook. Its tall, looping forms add a touch of whimsy and elegance without becoming formal, creating an approachable tone that reads as relaxed and human.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, legible handwriting look with a flowing cursive gesture and expressive capitals, prioritizing personality and airy elegance over strict typographic regularity.
Uppercase characters tend to be the most expressive, using enlarged loops and elongated strokes that stand out strongly in mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, matching the minimal stroke weight and slightly irregular, natural rhythm.
