A slender, handwritten script with a forward slant and a smooth, monoline-to-slightly-modulated stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that give the line a vertical, graceful rhythm. Curves are softly looped (notably in letters like g, y, and z), while joins and terminals feel brushlike and lightly tapered rather than sharply cut. Spacing stays open enough for readability, and the overall texture on the page is light and flowing rather than dense.
Well-suited to short display settings where a handwritten signature feel is desired, such as boutique branding, packaging labels, invitations, and social graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings, where its tall, flowing rhythm can add personality without heavy ornamentation.
The font reads as informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting with a hint of refinement. Its airy strokes and tall, looping forms lend a gentle elegance, making the tone feel friendly, romantic, and slightly whimsical without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural pen or brush handwriting in a clean, legible script. The narrow proportions and looping gestures aim to provide an elegant, personal voice for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase characters are simple and gestural, pairing well with the lowercase without overpowering it. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with a consistent slant and similarly light, cursive movement.
