A delicate, pen-like script with a consistent, monoline feel and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and long, tapered descenders, producing a high vertical rhythm and open counters. Strokes flow with smooth curves and occasional looped constructions, while capitals feature more dramatic entry/exit strokes and a lightly calligraphic flourish. Spacing and joins read as naturally handwritten rather than mechanically uniform, lending subtle variation to widths and connections.
Well suited to short, expressive settings such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations, and social graphics where a handwritten signature-like feel is desired. It also works effectively for headlines and pull quotes; for longer passages, its slender strokes and tight proportions favor larger sizes and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is personal and breezy, like quick, stylish handwriting in ink. Its slim profile and flowing motion give it a refined, contemporary charm while remaining informal and approachable.
Designed to capture the spontaneity of neat cursive handwriting while retaining enough consistency for repeatable typographic use. The narrow, upright-leaning rhythm and restrained stroke weight suggest an emphasis on elegance and economy of space, with capitals providing the primary flourish.
Lowercase forms lean toward simplified, single-stroke constructions, with several letters showing looped ascenders/descenders that add character in words. Numerals match the same light, handwritten logic, keeping the set cohesive for short numeric accents in text.
