A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and generous vertical reach. Strokes are hairline-thin with lightly varied pressure and occasional entry/exit hooks that suggest a pen or fine marker. Curves are narrow and looping, with long ascenders and descenders that create a lacy texture, while spacing remains relatively open so the forms don’t collapse despite the thin construction. Uppercase letters read as simplified, elongated handwritten caps that blend naturally with the lowercase rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where the thin strokes and looping detail can be appreciated—invites, cards, boutique packaging, social graphics, pull quotes, and signature-style branding. It performs especially well at larger display sizes or in high-contrast print/digital contexts where its hairline strokes remain clear.
The overall tone feels intimate and airy, like quick notes or journaling written with a fine pen. Its looping forms and tall proportions give it a light, slightly whimsical character that can read as elegant but informal rather than polished or ceremonial.
Designed to capture the immediacy of natural handwriting while maintaining a consistent script rhythm across a full alphabet and numerals. The emphasis appears to be on lightness and grace—creating an expressive, personal voice without heavy ornamentation.
The samples show a relaxed, slightly uneven handwritten cadence with occasional extended cross-strokes and looped terminals that add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same fine-line approach, staying simple and readable while retaining the hand-drawn feel.
