A slender, handwritten script with a smooth, monoline feel and gently tapered terminals. The letterforms are strongly slanted with tall ascenders and long, looping descenders, creating an elegant vertical rhythm despite the narrow set. Strokes are fluid and continuous, with soft curves and occasional simplified joins that keep word shapes open rather than tightly knotted. Uppercase forms are more expressive and elongated, while lowercase maintains a consistent, quick-pen cadence; numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, readable shapes.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and short display lines where an informal script voice is desired. It can also work on boutique packaging and lifestyle branding elements, especially when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is light and personable, like neat, fast handwriting with a touch of refinement. It feels warm and conversational, with just enough flourish in capitals and loops to add charm without becoming overly formal.
Designed to capture an easy, handwritten cursive look with graceful loops and a clean stroke, balancing charm and legibility. The narrow, tall construction and expressive capitals suggest an intention for personable display typography rather than dense body copy.
Spacing and connections are loose and breathable for a cursive style, helping longer samples remain clear. The tall proportions and pronounced loops give it a distinctive silhouette that stands out best when given room to breathe.
