A fine, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a steady rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and lightly tensioned, with generous curves, open bowls, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that give forms a written, continuous feel. Uppercase letters are simplified and elongated, often built from single sweeping gestures, while lowercase forms stay small and quick, creating a pronounced scale contrast between caps and x-height. Spacing is loose and variable, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than rigidly uniform.
Well-suited for short phrases, pull quotes, cards, invitations, and lifestyle branding where a personal handwritten voice is desirable. It can also add a light, crafted accent on packaging or social media graphics when used with comfortable spacing and supportive pairing type for longer text.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting in a notebook. Its light touch and looping gestures read as friendly and slightly whimsical, with an airy elegance that suits expressive, conversational messaging more than formal copy.
Designed to capture a natural cursive handwriting flow with minimal stroke weight and tall, elegant gestures. The letterforms prioritize personality and motion—especially in capitals and long ascenders—aiming for a breezy, human feel rather than typographic strictness.
In the samples, the font performs best with ample tracking and at larger sizes, where the delicate strokes and distinctive cap shapes remain clear. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and lightly drawn to match the alphabet’s understated presence.
