A monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly bouncy baseline. Strokes are smooth and even, with rounded turns and frequent looped forms in both capitals and lowercase. The lowercase is compact with small counters and short extenders relative to the tall caps, and letter widths vary noticeably, enhancing the hand-drawn rhythm. Connections are suggested by entry/exit strokes, but many characters retain distinct shapes for clarity, and numerals follow the same simple, open, single-stroke feel.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal signature feel is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and social media headlines. It performs best at display sizes where the fine monoline strokes and loop details remain clear.
The font reads as lighthearted and personable, balancing elegance with an informal, notebook-like charm. Its tall loops and gentle curves give it a whimsical, breezy tone that feels approachable rather than formal.
Likely designed to capture the spontaneity of quick pen lettering while keeping consistent proportions and clean curves for repeatable typographic use. The emphasis on tall capitals and looping forms suggests an intent to add charm and personality to headlines and short messages.
Capitals are especially prominent and decorative, with narrow bowls and occasional flourish-like terminals that create a strong vertical cadence in mixed-case text. Spacing appears open and forgiving, supporting legibility despite the narrow letterforms.
