A slender, right-slanted handwritten print with tall proportions and a very small x-height, giving the lowercase an understated, delicate presence beside the capitals. Strokes feel pen-drawn and mostly monoline, with subtle pressure changes and occasional flicks at entry/exit points that create gentle tapering. Forms are open and simplified, with long ascenders/descenders and a rhythmic, slightly irregular baseline that keeps it organic while remaining broadly consistent across the set. The numerals follow the same light, handwritten construction, with smooth curves and minimal decoration.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a light, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, personal branding, or boutique packaging. It can also work for headings and callouts where tall, narrow letterforms help fit longer words into limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat quick notes written with a fine pen. Its narrow, slanted rhythm reads energetic and nimble rather than formal, giving text a breezy, conversational character.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, contemporary handwriting with a fine-pen texture—prioritizing lightness, speed, and an approachable tone over strict typographic regularity. Its tall structure and gentle slant aim to keep text feeling lively while still readable in display-oriented use.
Capitals are prominent and elongated, providing a strong initial-letter presence in mixed-case settings. Bowls and loops are kept airy, and joins are avoided, reinforcing a print-like handwriting feel rather than connected script.
