A tall, monoline handwritten script with long ascenders/descenders and a gently irregular baseline. Strokes are extremely thin and smooth, with rounded turns, narrow ovals, and occasional tapered-looking terminals created by pen-like lift-offs. Letterforms lean mostly upright and stay open and uncluttered, with modest joining behavior and a mix of simple printed structures and cursive loops that keeps texture light and spacious.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its delicate strokes and tall rhythm can breathe—headlines, invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, and quote graphics. It can also work for light branding elements such as boutique labels or social posts when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personal, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its thin strokes and lanky proportions give it an airy, slightly quirky charm rather than a formal calligraphic feel.
Designed to capture an unforced, handwritten personality with a refined, minimal stroke—prioritizing elegance and airiness over heavy emphasis. The mix of simple capitals and loopy lowercase suggests an aim for approachable readability while still feeling distinctly hand-drawn.
Uppercase forms are simplified and linear, while many lowercase characters use looped descenders (notably g, j, y) that add rhythmic movement in text. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic and read best at larger sizes where the hairline strokes won’t disappear.
