A slim, monoline handwritten cursive with tall, elongated proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes stay consistently fine, with rounded turns and frequent looped constructions in both capitals and lowercase. Letterforms are mostly upright with a slight handwritten sway, featuring open counters and lightly simplified joins that keep the texture clean rather than densely connected. The overall spacing feels light and breathable, and the figures match the same narrow, hand-drawn cadence.
This font suits short-to-medium phrases where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social graphics. It can also work well for light branding moments such as packaging labels or boutique signage, especially when used with ample tracking and clear contrast against the background.
The tone is lighthearted and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a card or label. Its delicate line and looping forms give it a gentle, playful character without feeling overly formal or ornamental.
Designed to capture a refined, everyday cursive—thin-pen strokes, tall loops, and a tidy rhythm—aimed at adding human warmth and elegance to display copy without the heaviness of a brush script.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, often built from single-stroke loops that create a distinctive signature-like look at the start of words. Lowercase maintains a consistent, slender cadence with occasional disconnected joins, helping legibility at text sizes while preserving a natural handwritten flow.
