A slender, handwritten script with a smooth, pen-drawn rhythm and lightly modulated strokes. The letterforms are narrow and tall, with prominent ascenders and deep, looping descenders that create a lively vertical texture. Terminals are rounded and slightly tapered, and curves stay open and clean, keeping counters breathable even at smaller sizes. Uppercase characters read as simplified, signature-like forms with generous height and minimal ornament, while lowercase shapes favor quick, flowing construction with occasional joins and soft entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same spare, handwritten logic, using simple forms and gentle curvature.
Well-suited to short, expressive copy where a personal voice is helpful—logos, product labels, café menus, invitations, and social media graphics. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headings, and light display use where the tall extenders and airy stroke add character; for longer passages, generous leading helps maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like neat notes or a quick signature. Its tall, bouncy proportions and looping strokes add a playful warmth without becoming overly decorative, giving it an approachable, contemporary handmade character.
Designed to capture a clean, modern handwritten look that balances legibility with an unmistakably human touch. The restrained stroke weight, narrow proportions, and looping extenders appear intended to provide a signature-like elegance while staying casual and easygoing.
In text, the font shows a consistent baseline and steady spacing, with a natural irregularity typical of handwriting rather than strict geometric repetition. The vertical emphasis and long extenders create strong line texture, so it benefits from comfortable line spacing in multi-line settings.
