A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes are fine and even, with occasional pressure-like modulation at turns and joins, and many letters formed with single, continuous gestures. Uppercase forms are elongated and open, while lowercase stays compact with a notably short x-height and long ascenders/descenders; counters remain spacious despite the condensed width. Numerals and punctuation match the same light, penned rhythm, keeping a cohesive, sketch-like texture in running text.
Well-suited to invitations, personal stationery, short quotes, and editorial pull-phrases where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for boutique branding elements such as signatures, product labels, and header treatments, especially at medium to large sizes where the fine strokes and tall forms remain crisp.
The overall tone is intimate and understated—more like quick, personal handwriting than formal calligraphy. Its thin strokes and elongated forms lend an elegant, slightly wistful feel, while the loose joins and varied letterforms keep it relaxed and human.
Designed to capture a natural cursive pen stroke with a light touch—prioritizing fluid motion, elegant narrow proportions, and a handwritten authenticity over rigid, mechanical consistency. The character set reads as a cohesive personal hand meant to add a bespoke, human accent to display text.
Spacing appears on the tight side in places, which amplifies the narrow, vertical color; generous tracking can help preserve clarity at smaller sizes. The uppercase set is expressive and prominent, making it useful for emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, flowing baseline rhythm.
