A flowing handwritten script with a steady rightward slant and a lightly brushed, monoline-like stroke that shows subtle pressure modulation. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and a very small lowercase x-height relative to prominent ascenders and descenders. Curves are open and springy, and many characters carry entry/exit strokes that encourage a continuous rhythm, while spacing remains slightly irregular in a natural, written way. Capitals are simplified but expressive, mixing restrained swashes with occasional loops for emphasis.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It works best at display and headline sizes where the fine strokes and tall proportions can stay clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat pen handwriting used for notes, invitations, or captions. Its light, airy color and looping movement feel friendly and conversational, leaning more contemporary casual than formal calligraphy.
Designed to emulate quick, elegant handwriting with a consistent slant and gentle loops, balancing legibility with a relaxed, human cadence. The tall ascenders/descenders and modest swash details suggest an intention to add charm and motion without becoming overly ornate.
The alphabet shows a mix of connected tendencies and discrete joins, giving it a handwritten flexibility rather than strict script connectivity. Numerals are slim and lightly stylized, matching the same slanted, pen-drawn character as the letters.
