A narrow, handwritten script with mostly single-stroke construction and gently tapered terminals. Strokes keep an even rhythm with modest contrast, combining tall ascenders/descenders with a notably small x-height for a delicate, airy color on the page. Letterforms favor rounded bowls, looping entry/exit strokes, and occasional exaggerated swashes—especially in capitals—while spacing remains relatively open for a script, improving word-shape clarity. The overall texture feels smooth and ink-like rather than brushy, with consistent curvature and a slightly bouncy baseline cadence.
Works well for short to medium lines where a friendly handwritten voice is desirable—invites, cards, product labels, café or boutique branding, and display quotes. It can also suit headings and pull quotes where its tall, narrow rhythm can add elegance without feeling rigid.
The font reads as personable and lighthearted, like neat hand lettering meant to feel approachable rather than formal. Its narrow, looping forms add a touch of whimsy and charm, making text feel conversational and warm.
Designed to emulate tidy, expressive hand lettering with scripted continuity, prioritizing charm and personality over strict uniformity. The narrow proportions and small x-height suggest an intent to keep words graceful and light while still readable at display sizes.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, with prominent loops and flourished cross-strokes that create strong initial-letter presence. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional cursive-like turns that match the script’s flow.
