A monoline handwritten script with slender strokes, tall proportions, and generous white space. Letterforms show looping joins and occasional lifted connections, creating a lightly irregular rhythm that still feels consistent across the alphabet. Counters stay open and rounded, while ascenders and descenders are long and narrow, giving words a vertical, whiplike silhouette. Capitals are simplified and upright, with smooth curves and minimal ornamentation that keeps the overall texture clean and legible.
Well suited for short to medium text where a human, friendly voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, gift tags, boutique packaging, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or invitation. Its light touch and elongated forms feel gentle and approachable, with a relaxed bounce that adds charm without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate a clean, modern handwritten script with restrained flourish, prioritizing an easy, personal feel over formal calligraphy. The tall, narrow construction and monoline stroke suggest a goal of keeping the script light, tidy, and versatile for everyday display use.
Spacing appears naturally variable, with some letters (notably narrow verticals and looped forms) creating a slightly uneven color typical of hand lettering. Numerals are similarly light and upright, matching the narrow, handwritten feel and maintaining consistent stroke weight.
