A slender handwritten script with tall proportions and a lightly drawn, monoline feel. Strokes are smooth and slightly uneven in a natural way, with long ascenders and descenders and frequent looped constructions (notably in capitals and letters like g, y, and f). The overall rhythm is flowing and right-leaning, with open counters and generous internal space; connections between letters appear intermittent, producing a written-on-the-fly texture rather than a rigid continuous join. Figures are similarly thin and simple, matching the letterforms’ understated, linear construction.
Well suited to short, expressive text where a personal handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, packaging labels, social media graphics, and quote treatments. It’s particularly effective for title case or initial caps, where the tall capitals can lead the composition and add character.
The font reads as casual and personal, like quick neat handwriting in pen. Its height and fine stroke give it an airy elegance, while the occasional loops and bouncy movement add a friendly, slightly whimsical tone.
Designed to emulate a refined, lightweight pen script with a natural handwritten cadence, prioritizing personality and vertical elegance over strict uniformity. The letterforms aim for an approachable, modern handwritten look that remains clean enough for display use.
Capitals are especially tall and prominent, creating strong vertical emphasis in words and a distinctive headline flavor. The small letters are compact and understated by comparison, which increases the sense of contrast between uppercase initials and the rest of the text.
