A monoline handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes are smooth and slightly irregular, with rounded terminals and occasional looped constructions that evoke quick pen writing. Capitals are simplified and narrow with airy counters, while the lowercase uses compact bodies with long ascenders and descenders, creating a lively vertical texture. Figures are similarly slim and handwritten, matching the letterforms’ simple, unembellished construction.
Works well for short to medium-length display settings where a personal, handwritten voice is desirable—quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle branding. It can also suit labels or packaging that benefits from a crafted, boutique feel, provided sizing and spacing allow the narrow forms to remain clear.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like neat journaling or a casual note written with a fine-tip pen. Its narrow, tall proportions and looping joins give it a lighthearted, personable character that feels approachable rather than formal or corporate.
Likely intended to mimic tidy, everyday cursive handwriting with a slim pen line and a lively, slightly quirky rhythm. The design emphasizes personality and vertical elegance over strict typographic regularity, aiming for a natural hand-drawn impression in display text.
Connectivity varies across the lowercase: some letters appear more joined and flowing while others keep clearer separations, reinforcing a natural handwritten feel. The narrow spacing and tall vertical strokes create a distinctive striped rhythm in text, especially in words with many stems.
