A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lively rightward slant. Strokes feel pen-and-ink or light brush-like, with quick tapers and occasional thick–thin moments that read as natural pressure rather than rigid calligraphy. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, using long ascenders and descenders, open counters, and frequent looped joins that create a flowing rhythm. Capitals are simple and upright in structure but drawn with sweeping entry strokes, while lowercase forms stay narrow and linear, giving the overall texture a light, airy color on the page.
Works well for short to medium-length display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—logos, boutique branding, product packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics. It also suits pull quotes and headings when set with generous tracking and leading to preserve its airy rhythm.
The tone is informal and personable, like neat journal writing or a hand-lettered note. Its thin, looping movement adds a gentle elegance while still feeling spontaneous and human, making it approachable rather than formal. The overall impression is bright and breezy, with a touch of whimsy from the long, swinging terminals and tall letter silhouettes.
Likely designed to provide a natural, modern handwritten script that stays readable while preserving the spontaneity of quick pen movement. The narrow, tall construction and looping connections aim to create graceful word shapes without the formality of traditional calligraphic scripts.
Spacing appears intentionally loose to keep the thin strokes from clumping, and the tall extenders help word shapes stay distinctive even at small sizes. Numerals match the handwriting style, staying narrow and lightly drawn with simple, open shapes.
