A delicate, pen-like script with a tall, slender build and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes stay largely monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals taper into fine points that feel quickly written. Letterforms are loosely connected in rhythm rather than fully continuous, mixing simple arches with occasional loops and long, swinging ascenders and descenders. Uppercase characters are narrow and gestural, while lowercase remains compact with small bowls and open counters; overall spacing is light and breathing, emphasizing a quick handwritten cadence.
Well suited to invitations, personal stationery, boutique branding, and short marketing lines where a handwritten voice is desirable. It works especially well for quotes, product labels, and social graphics at larger sizes where the fine strokes and tall proportions can remain clear.
The tone is intimate and informal, like neat notes or a signature written with a fine-tip pen. Its light touch and lively slant add a breezy elegance, while the irregularities and looping strokes keep it friendly and human rather than formal.
Designed to emulate quick, graceful handwriting with a fine pen, balancing legibility with an expressive, signature-like flow. The narrow, tall proportions and light stroke weight aim to keep text feeling elegant and unobtrusive while still distinctly personal.
Capitals provide expressive entry strokes and occasional flourished curves that stand out in short phrases. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, matching the same pen-pressure feel and slightly varied widths, which helps the set stay cohesive in casual settings.
