A smooth, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a light, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact counters and a notably small x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders. Strokes move fluidly with gentle entry/exit terminals, frequent loops, and occasional open joins that keep the texture lively rather than strictly continuous. Capitals are simplified and linear with restrained flourishes, while lowercase forms show rhythmic, slightly bouncy curves and clean, uncluttered bowls.
Well-suited to short-to-medium settings where a personal, handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, product labels, and lifestyle branding. It also works for pull quotes and headings when paired with a more neutral text face, and performs best when given enough size and leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is casual and personable, like quick neat handwriting in a note or caption. Its lightness and open spacing give it an airy feel, while the looping strokes add warmth and a subtly playful character without becoming decorative.
Designed to capture the ease of natural cursive writing with a clean, controlled rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on an elegant, lightweight handwritten look that remains readable in display use while retaining human variation and motion.
Digit forms follow the same handwritten logic, staying simple and legible with minimal ornament. In text, the slant and narrow proportions create an elegant forward momentum, and the small x-height lends a refined, delicate texture that benefits from generous line spacing.
