A slender, handwritten script with a smooth rightward slant and a largely monoline stroke that occasionally swells at turns and terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous vertical rhythm, rounded bowls, and frequent looped entries/exits that give words a continuous, flowing feel even when joins are subtle. Capitals are simplified but expressive, using long, sweeping strokes and open counters; lowercase forms stay compact with small, neat shapes and minimal emphasis on x-height. Numerals follow the same drawn style, with open curves and soft, tapered endings.
Well-suited to short to medium phrases where a personal voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, gift tags, packaging accents, and social posts. It can work nicely for headers, pull quotes, and brand signatures, especially when paired with a quiet sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick, confident handwriting on a note or label. Its narrow, looping gestures read as lighthearted and slightly whimsical, balancing elegance with everyday friendliness.
Designed to capture the look of quick, natural cursive handwriting with a clean, contemporary smoothness. The narrow proportions and looping terminals aim to create a distinctive, airy word shape that feels expressive without becoming overly formal.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a handwritten way, and the long ascenders/descenders create a graceful texture in running text. The stroke endings often taper or flick, adding motion and a spontaneous, pen-drawn character.
