A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, continuous curves. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact bowls and open counters, and a noticeably small x-height relative to prominent ascenders and descenders. Strokes stay even in thickness, with tapered beginnings and endings that feel pen-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Uppercase characters are simplified and loop-forward, often built from single flowing gestures, while lowercase forms keep a light rhythm with occasional joins and generous internal spacing.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handcrafted feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social posts. It also works as a light accent on packaging, labels, and lifestyle branding, especially when given generous size and leading for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is informal and personal, like quick but careful note-taking with a fine pen. Its slim, looping forms lend a gentle elegance without feeling formal, giving text a friendly, approachable voice with a hint of playful flourish.
Designed to capture a refined everyday handwriting style with a streamlined, monoline construction and looping cursive movement. The emphasis appears to be on elegance-through-simplicity: narrow, tall forms and fluid strokes that stay legible while still feeling spontaneous and human.
Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, with rounded shapes and minimal ornament, staying visually consistent with the letterforms. The script maintains readability through clear silhouettes and open apertures, while the narrow proportions and small x-height emphasize a light, airy color in lines of text.
