A slim, handwritten script with tall ascenders and long, relaxed extenders that give the lines a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation from pen pressure, and terminals finish in soft hooks and rounded ends. Letterforms lean consistently and move with a lightly bouncy baseline; spacing is irregular in a natural, handwritten way, with narrow bodies and occasional wider joins. Capitals are simple and loop-influenced, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height relative to the ascenders.
Well-suited to short, friendly text such as greetings, invitations, labels, and social media quotes where a personal, handwritten feel is desired. It works best at display sizes or for brief headlines, where its narrow proportions and looping joins can remain clear without crowding.
The overall tone is informal and personable, reading like quick, confident note-taking. Its narrow, upright-leaning flow and gentle loops feel cheerful and approachable, with a slightly whimsical character suited to conversational messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate natural, everyday cursive writing with a clean, modern simplicity—favoring speed, charm, and legibility over formal calligraphic structure. Its narrow build and tall ascenders create an elegant, space-saving silhouette while keeping the mood light and approachable.
Connections appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, so words read as a semi-joined cursive with clear individual letter identities. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten rhythm and keep forms open and uncomplicated for a consistent texture alongside text.
