A slim, pen-like script with smooth, continuous strokes and a lightly varied rhythm that feels written rather than constructed. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, giving lines a vertical, reed-like profile. Strokes read mostly monoline, with subtle pressure changes at curves and joins, and terminals tend to taper into fine hooks or soft flicks. The lowercase is compact with small internal counters and minimal x-height presence, while capitals are larger, more gestural, and occasionally incorporate extended entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying narrow and lightly curved with open shapes and simple construction.
Best suited to display settings where its thin strokes and narrow forms can breathe—signatures, personal branding, invitations, greeting cards, and short pull quotes. It also works well for beauty, lifestyle, and boutique packaging when set at larger sizes; for longer passages, generous tracking and leading help maintain clarity.
The tone is intimate and understated—refined without becoming formal, like neat quick handwriting on a note or card. Its light touch and looping joins suggest a gentle, friendly voice that can also read as fashion-forward when used large with ample whitespace.
The design appears intended to emulate a quick but careful cursive hand: light, legible, and expressive, with emphasis on tall proportions and fluid motion. It prioritizes a personal, elegant impression over strict uniformity, making it ideal for name-led headlines and accent text.
Connection behavior varies: many lowercase letters naturally join while some breaks and simplified joins preserve a spontaneous handwritten feel. Spacing appears slightly irregular by design, and the most prominent distinctive features are the tall, slender capitals and the long, flowing descenders in letters like g, j, and y.
