A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a quick, continuous rhythm and tall ascenders/descenders. Strokes stay consistently thin with occasional pressure-like thickening at curves, and terminals taper into hairline finishes. Capitals are larger and more gestural, often built from long entry strokes and open loops, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably low x-height and extended verticals. Spacing is narrow and lively, with letterforms that feel slightly irregular in width and connection, reinforcing a natural pen-written texture.
Best suited for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—logos, boutique branding, invitations, product labels, and social graphics. It performs especially well at display sizes where the fine strokes and loops can remain clear, and where generous line spacing can accommodate the tall extenders.
The overall tone is light, intimate, and stylish—more like a personal note or signature than formal calligraphy. Its looping capitals and slender strokes create a refined, romantic feel, while the uneven rhythm keeps it approachable and informal.
Designed to capture a refined everyday handwriting look: swift pen strokes, airy counters, and expressive capitals that add flair without becoming heavy. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and individuality for display typography rather than dense, continuous reading.
The font’s character is driven by prominent ascenders and descenders, giving lines a tall profile. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim and lightly drawn, and the punctuation and joins read as quick pen movements rather than constructed geometry.
