A monoline, handwritten script with a tall, narrow skeleton and softly rounded curves. Stroke weight stays consistent throughout, with a slight rightward slant and frequent looped joins that mimic quick pen movement. Uppercase forms are noticeably taller and more expressive, often built from single, continuous strokes with long entry/exit terminals and occasional extended crossbars. Lowercase is compact with small counters and many simple, open forms, while ascenders and descenders run long, giving the face an elegant vertical rhythm.
This font works best where a friendly, handwritten voice is needed—greeting cards, invitations, short quotes, social media graphics, and light lifestyle packaging. It performs especially well at display and headline sizes, where the tall loops and distinctive capitals can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like neat journaling or a casual signature. Its looping capitals and springy motion add a touch of whimsy, while the restrained stroke weight keeps it feeling gentle and approachable rather than bold or formal.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, flowing pen script with expressive capitals and a delicate, uncluttered texture. Its narrow build and consistent monoline strokes suggest a focus on creating graceful, space-efficient headlines with a personal, hand-drawn feel.
The glyph set mixes more connected behavior in the lowercase with largely standalone, display-like capitals. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the narrow proportions and smooth curves seen in the letters.
