A tall, right-leaning handwritten script with a slim, lightly drawn stroke and subtle pressure contrast. Letterforms are narrow and elongated, with long ascenders and descenders, rounded turns, and occasional looped constructions (notably in capitals and in letters like g, y, and j). The baseline is gently bouncy, and spacing is open, giving the text a breathable rhythm despite the condensed shapes. Terminals tend to be tapered and brush-like, with simple joins and a mix of connected and loosely separated forms that preserve a quick, natural writing flow.
Well-suited to logos and wordmarks that benefit from a personal signature feel, as well as invitations, greeting cards, and packaging where a light, elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for short quotes, headlines, and social media graphics, especially when given room to breathe. For longer passages, larger sizes and increased letterspacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels personal and informal while still looking polished. Its narrow, elongated gestures and soft loops lend a graceful, handwritten charm that reads as friendly, modern, and slightly romantic rather than formal or rigid.
Designed to mimic quick, stylish handwriting with a refined, narrow silhouette. The intent appears to balance casual authenticity with an elegant, display-friendly rhythm, using tall proportions and gentle flourishes to add personality without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals are prominent and expressive, often built from single sweeping strokes that create a signature-like presence at the start of words. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic, staying simple and consistent with the letterforms. The very short x-height makes lowercase appear delicate; readability improves with generous tracking and moderate sizes.
