A monoline, slanted handwritten script with tall ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height. Strokes are smooth and lightly pressured, with rounded terminals and frequent looped entries/exits that give the letterforms a continuous, gliding rhythm. Capitals are narrow and elongated with simplified construction, while lowercase forms stay compact in the middle zone and extend with long, taperless stems and occasional flourished descenders. Spacing is open and irregular in a natural way, reinforcing the hand-drawn feel while keeping overall word shapes coherent.
Well suited to signature-style marks, invitations, greeting cards, and short headlines where a personal handwritten tone is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes, social media graphics, and packaging accents, especially when set with generous line spacing to accommodate the tall extenders.
The font feels light, breezy, and personable—more like quick, neat handwriting than formal calligraphy. Its looping joins and lanky proportions add a touch of whimsy and spontaneity, lending an intimate, informal tone.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant everyday cursive: light, fast, and fluid, with enough regularity to stay readable while preserving the spontaneity of real handwriting.
In running text the long extenders and compact x-height create a distinctive vertical swing that stands out at display sizes. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic with simple forms and gentle curves, maintaining a consistent rhythm alongside letters.
