A delicate handwritten script with tall, narrow proportions and a lightly drawn, monoline feel. Strokes lean consistently forward with smooth, looping bowls and long ascenders and descenders that create a high, vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are more ornamental and open, often built from single continuous gestures, while lowercase stays compact with restrained joins and occasional entry/exit strokes. Numerals are similarly slender and rounded, with simple curves and minimal ornamentation for a cohesive set.
Works best for short to medium phrases where a personal, handwritten tone is desired—such as invitations, greetings, quote graphics, small brand marks, and light packaging accents. It can also serve as a secondary script paired with a clean sans for headings, pull quotes, or signatures.
The overall tone is breezy and personal, like quick, confident pen notes dressed up with a few graceful flourishes. Its thin strokes and generous curves give it a refined, slightly whimsical character without feeling formal or rigid.
The design appears intended to capture a fast, natural pen-script look with slender strokes and expressive capitals, prioritizing personality and elegant movement over heavy legibility at small sizes. It aims to feel informal and human, while still maintaining enough consistency for set text and display use.
The caps are visually prominent and make strong word-starts, while the small x-height and long extenders add a lot of texture in running text. Spacing appears loose enough to keep the hairline strokes from clumping, and the irregularity of handwritten forms is present but controlled, supporting a consistent line of text.
