A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and tall, looping capitals. Strokes stay even and smooth, with rounded terminals and occasional lifted joins that keep the rhythm light and breathable. Uppercase forms are large and gestural, often built from long verticals and open bowls, while lowercase is compact with very small bodies, narrow spacing, and long ascenders/descenders that add a bouncy texture. Numerals match the writing style with simple, open shapes and gentle curves rather than rigid geometry.
Well suited to short, expressive text where a handwritten feel is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social graphics. It can also work for light branding accents and packaging labels, particularly when paired with a straightforward sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels personable and informal, like quick pen lettering used for notes or labels. Its tall loops and soft curves read as cheerful and slightly whimsical, lending a warm, approachable voice rather than a polished or formal one.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of pen-written cursive while remaining legible in display sizes. Emphasis is placed on elegant, elongated capitals and a relaxed, personal rhythm that adds charm to titles and short phrases.
The contrast between oversized capitals and petite lowercase creates a lively headline rhythm, especially in mixed-case phrases. Letterforms favor openness and simplicity, with many counters left airy and uncluttered, which helps keep longer lines from feeling heavy.
