A delicate handwritten script with hairline strokes and a pronounced forward slant. Letterforms are tall and linear, with narrow proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and generous internal whitespace. Strokes often taper at terminals, and many capitals introduce large looped entries and extended crossbars, creating a lively rhythm. Lowercase forms are small relative to the capitals, with simple, understated bowls and occasional single-stroke connections that keep the texture open rather than densely cursive.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and dramatic capitals can be appreciated—logos, boutique branding, invitations, short headlines, and pull quotes. It works especially well when given ample size and spacing, and is less ideal for long passages or small UI text due to its lightness and compact lowercase presence.
The overall tone feels light, intimate, and slightly playful, like quick ink notes refined into a consistent hand. Its thin lines and sweeping capitals give it a breezy elegance while still reading as informal and personal.
Designed to capture an elegant, quick-written cursive feel with emphasis on expressive capitals and a high, airy word shape. The intention appears to be a refined signature-like script that stays minimal in stroke weight while using loops and long gestures for character.
Capital forms carry much of the personality, frequently using oversized loops and elongated horizontals that can span into neighboring space. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, with simple curves and a minimal, sketch-like presence that matches the letterforms.
