A fine, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a quick, pen-like rhythm. Forms are tall and compact, with small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that create a light, vertical texture. Curves are softly rounded and often looped, while joins are intermittent—some letters connect in running text, while others lift for a more sketch-like flow. Terminals are tapered and slightly irregular, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn feel rather than geometric uniformity.
Well-suited to short, display-like settings such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, packaging accents, and brand signatures where a personal touch is desired. It performs best at moderate-to-large sizes with comfortable tracking, and works especially well for headings or highlight phrases paired with a quiet sans for body text.
The font reads as intimate and personable, with a breezy sophistication. Its thin strokes and looping shapes give it a gentle, romantic tone, while the narrow proportions keep it understated and modern rather than ornate.
Designed to mimic quick, graceful handwriting—light on the page, slightly imperfect, and naturally cursive—aimed at adding a human, signature-like character to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase letters are notably expressive and taller, with simple swashes and occasional cross-strokes that act like built-in flourishes. In sentences, the uneven connection behavior and varying loop sizes add charm but also increase visual activity at smaller sizes, especially around narrow letters and tight spacing.
