A flowing handwritten script with a slender, monoline feel and a consistent rightward slant. The letterforms are tall and linear, with compact lowercase bodies contrasted by notably long ascenders and deep, looping descenders. Strokes stay smooth and continuous with rounded joins and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest quick pen movement; connections appear common in lowercase, while capitals are more standalone and gestural. Spacing is relatively open for a script, helping keep counters clear and preventing dense tangles in longer words.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—invites, cards, quote graphics, and lifestyle branding. It works especially well for headings, names, and accent lines, and can also serve as a secondary script paired with a clean sans for contrast.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, like neat everyday handwriting with a touch of elegance. Its tall proportions and looping forms give it a light, breezy rhythm that feels personable and slightly whimsical rather than formal or calligraphic.
Designed to mimic a quick, confident cursive note with tall, elegant proportions and smooth loops. The emphasis appears to be on an approachable handwritten texture while remaining clean enough for display use and short reading passages.
Capitals show simplified, signature-like constructions (notably in letters such as B, D, J, and Q), which adds character but can introduce stylistic variation at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and occasional curls that keep them consistent with the text style.
