A delicate, handwriting-style script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, slender proportions. Strokes are mostly monoline with occasional subtle swelling and tapered terminals, giving a pen-drawn feel. Uppercase letters are narrow and vertical, mixing simple looped forms with occasional extended ascenders, while lowercase features compact bowls, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a flowing rhythm. Spacing is loose and variable in an organic way, and the numerals follow the same light, linear construction with open counters and simple curves.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and social media graphics. It also works effectively for pull quotes or headings when paired with a quiet sans serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is light and personable, balancing casual handwritten charm with a refined, airy elegance. Its looping forms and bouncy baseline suggest friendliness and spontaneity rather than formality or rigidity.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident handwriting with a neat, fashion-forward silhouette. It prioritizes an expressive, flowing line and tall proportions to create a signature-like presence that feels intimate and contemporary.
Capital forms are prominent and slightly more gestural than the lowercase, helping headings stand out without becoming heavy. The design keeps counters open and avoids dense joins, which maintains a clean, breathable texture even in longer phrases.
