A delicate, monoline cursive with tall, slender letterforms and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes keep an even weight with soft curves, open bowls, and frequent looped entries and exits, creating a continuous handwritten rhythm in text. Proportions favor long ascenders and descenders over the x-height, giving lowercase a small core with prominent extenders, while capitals are simple and narrow with occasional flourish. Spacing and widths vary naturally, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand cadence rather than a rigid, geometric system.
Well-suited for short-to-medium text where a personal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, thank-you notes, quotes, and social media graphics. It also works nicely on packaging and boutique branding applications where an airy handwritten accent can complement a clean supporting typeface.
The overall tone feels personable and informal, like quick, neat handwriting on a note or label. Its light touch and looping forms add a slightly playful, romantic character without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture a tidy, flowing pen-script look with consistent monoline strokes and natural variation in widths. The emphasis on tall extenders, narrow forms, and smooth connections suggests an intention to stay elegant and legible while still reading as authentically handwritten.
In running text, connections and smooth joins keep words flowing, while the narrow silhouettes help lines stay compact. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, rounded shapes that match the letter rhythm.
