A slender, monoline cursive with tall, looping forms and a consistently forward-leaning slant. Strokes look pen-drawn with smooth curves and occasional taper-like flicks at entry and exit points, creating a light, airy rhythm. Letter shapes are narrow and vertically oriented, with small lowercase bodies contrasted by prominent ascenders/descenders; counters stay open and simplified. Capitals are more decorative and gestural, often built from single continuous movements, while the lowercase maintains a quick handwritten flow with clear joins and occasional lifted connections.
Works best for short to medium-length display lines where a handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, social posts, and light lifestyle packaging. It can also support headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is breezy and personable, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its looping gestures and tall, elegant verticals lend a slightly whimsical, romantic feel without becoming overly formal.
Designed to capture the immediacy of casual cursive handwriting with a refined, tall silhouette. The intent appears to balance expressive loops and clean monoline clarity, producing a graceful handwritten look suitable for friendly, personal messaging.
In the samples, the texture stays even at text sizes, but the narrow set and small lowercase proportions make it feel more delicate than sturdy. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic—simple, lightly curved figures that match the script’s rhythm rather than strict geometric alignment.
