A tall, slender cursive with a handwritten rhythm and gently irregular stroke behavior. Letterforms are built from narrow oval counters and long, looping ascenders/descenders, with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes. Stems tend to be straight and vertical while curves stay soft and rounded, creating a lively contrast between rigid uprights and fluid bowls. The lowercase is compact through the mid-zone, with notably tall extenders; numerals are similarly narrow and lightly drawn, echoing the script’s looped terminals.
Works best in short to medium-length settings where its narrow, looping script can read as decorative—titles, greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, and boutique packaging. It can also suit social posts and craft branding when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, suggesting quick pen lettering with a neat, storybook charm. Its looping forms and narrow proportions feel elegant-but-casual, leaning more playful than formal.
Designed to capture an informal pen-script look with tall, elegant extenders and a bouncy baseline, offering a friendly display cursive that stands out through narrow, airy letter shapes and playful loops.
Capital forms are expressive and individualized, sometimes resembling simplified calligraphic initials with small curls and hooked terminals. Spacing appears relatively open for a script, helping keep the texture light, though the narrow shapes can make repeated verticals feel busy at small sizes.
