A delicate, slanted handwritten script with tall ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body relative to the capitals. Strokes feel pen-drawn and mostly monoline, with subtle swelling at curves and terminals that keeps the line from feeling mechanically uniform. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmic, with frequent looped entries and exits; many lowercase characters connect naturally, while capitals remain more standalone with simple, open constructions and occasional flourish. Spacing is tight and vertical, creating a light, vertical cadence that reads like quick but practiced handwriting.
Well-suited for short, expressive settings where a personal tone matters, such as signatures, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle branding. It can work nicely for headings, pull quotes, and packaging accents, especially when given generous line spacing so the tall extenders and loops have room to breathe.
The overall tone is personable and spontaneous, like a neat note written with a fine-tip pen. Its light touch and elongated proportions add a gentle elegance, while the irregularities and looping joins keep it informal and human.
Designed to capture a refined, everyday cursive look: light, quick, and legible enough for display while preserving the natural quirks of handwriting. The narrow, tall proportions and looping connections suggest an intention to feel graceful and intimate without becoming overly formal.
The font shows a clear distinction between uppercase and lowercase styles: capitals are airy and calligraphic, while lowercase is more consistently connected and compact. Numerals are also handwritten in spirit, with simple shapes and slight tilt that match the text rhythm.
