A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly drawn, near-monoline stroke. Letterforms lean mostly upright with a bouncy baseline rhythm and frequent loops in ascenders and capitals, giving the alphabet a continuous, flowing feel even where connections break. Counters are narrow and open, terminals tend to taper softly, and spacing is irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way; capitals are notably taller and more expressive than the lowercase. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded construction, with simple, airy shapes that keep the overall texture light.
Well suited for invitations, greeting cards, short quotes, and boutique packaging where a light, handwritten voice is desired. It works best for headlines, names, and accent text, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for longer reading.
The tone feels informal and personable, like neat handwriting in a journal or on a note. Its looping capitals and buoyant rhythm add a whimsical, friendly character that reads more charming than formal.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, airy handwritten signature look with expressive capitals and a gentle, flowing cadence. It prioritizes charm and individuality over strict uniformity, aiming for an approachable, crafted feel in display contexts.
Some glyphs show intentional inconsistency typical of handwriting—varying join behavior, differing loop sizes, and small shifts in stroke pressure—creating a lively texture in longer text. The tall forms and fine strokes make it visually elegant but also sensitive to size and background contrast.
