A flowing, monoline script with a pronounced rightward slant and a tall, vertical rhythm. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with rounded terminals, frequent looped forms, and gentle entry/exit strokes that suggest quick handwritten motion. Letterforms are generally narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, with tall capitals and elongated ascenders/descenders that create an open, airy texture across words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, single-stroke constructions and soft curves.
Well-suited for short to medium lines where a handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, wedding or event invitations, quote graphics, and lifestyle packaging. It can also work as an accent for logos or headings when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone feels intimate and expressive, like neat handwriting on a card or note. Its light, breezy presence reads friendly and approachable while still carrying a touch of refinement from the tall proportions and clean curves.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, modern handwritten script that feels natural and legible while remaining light and graceful. Its narrow, tall proportions and looping gestures emphasize elegance and personal warmth over dense text performance.
Capitals have a slightly calligraphic flair, often built from a main stem plus a sweeping curve, which helps them stand out in display settings. The lowercase shows a mix of connected and lightly separated joins in the samples, giving text a natural, hand-drawn irregularity while maintaining consistent rhythm.
