A slender handwritten script with an upright stance and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes are hairline-thin in places with occasional thicker downstrokes, giving a pen-drawn contrast and a light, airy texture. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders; lowercase is compact relative to the capitals, and many characters show gentle entry/exit strokes and rounded terminals. Capitals are simplified and elongated, mixing print-like structures with cursive inflections, while numerals are similarly narrow and lightly looped.
Best suited to display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, packaging accents, and branding touchpoints where a personal handwritten voice is desirable. It works especially well for short headlines, names, and pull quotes where its tall, narrow silhouettes can add elegance without needing heavy weight.
The overall tone is charming and informal, with a delicate, whimsical presence that feels personal and hand-signed rather than typographically strict. Its narrow, looping forms read as graceful and slightly quirky, lending an expressive, boutique feel to short phrases and names.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, upright cursive written with a fine pen—favoring tall proportions, looping descenders, and a light touch for a refined yet approachable handwritten look.
Consistency comes from repeated loop motifs (notably in letters like J, y, g, and z) and a restrained, minimal stroke palette. Spacing and widths vary per glyph in a hand-drawn way, which adds character but can make longer passages feel busy at smaller sizes.
