A delicate handwritten script with slender, mostly monoline strokes and lightly calligraphic swelling at curves and terminals. The letterforms are upright with a narrow, tall rhythm, featuring generous ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body that gives the line a high, airy profile. Forms are simplified and open, with frequent loops (especially in b, f, g, j, y) and soft, rounded joins; connections appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, maintaining a handwritten cadence. Uppercase characters are larger and more gestural, with occasional flourished strokes and idiosyncratic construction that reads like pen-drawn capitals rather than formal calligraphy.
This font suits short to medium-length display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, product tags and packaging, café or boutique branding accents, and quote graphics for social posts. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when paired with a more neutral text face for body copy.
The overall tone is intimate and informal, like neat handwriting in a journal. Its light touch and looping shapes add a playful, slightly storybook character while staying readable and calm. The mix of clean strokes and small quirks keeps it personable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture a light, contemporary handwriting style with loops and gentle irregularities, prioritizing charm and individuality over strict typographic uniformity. It aims to provide an approachable script for everyday design applications where warmth and personality are key.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in a way that reinforces the handwritten feel, and some capitals (notably those with bowls and loops) become focal points due to their more decorative construction. Numerals follow the same airy, pen-drawn logic with simple curves and open shapes, aligning visually with the alphabet.
