A tall, handwritten script with slim, monoline strokes and gently swaying letterforms. Capitals are large and loop-forward, with simple swashes and occasional cross-strokes that feel drawn in a single motion. Lowercase shows small bodies with very tall ascenders and long, tapered descenders, giving the line a vertical, elegant rhythm; spacing is loose and the joins are often implied rather than fully connected. Numerals follow the same light, rounded construction, keeping the overall texture open and uncluttered.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, personal branding, pull quotes, product tags, and lifestyle packaging. It performs best when given ample size and whitespace, where the looping capitals and tall rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
The font reads as relaxed and personable, with a breezy, diary-like charm. Its looping capitals and buoyant verticality add a slightly whimsical, romantic tone without becoming overly formal.
The letterforms suggest an intention to capture quick, elegant handwriting—light, flowing, and slightly playful—optimized for expressive headlines and personal messages rather than dense reading.
The design relies on prominent ascenders/descenders and generous counters to maintain clarity at display sizes, while the delicate strokes and lively baseline movement emphasize its hand-drawn character. Capitals can visually dominate mixed-case text, so they work best when used intentionally for emphasis.
