A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly modulated monoline stroke. Letterforms are built from long ascenders and descenders, open bowls, and occasional looped entries and exits, creating an airy rhythm across words. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, with simple joining strokes and a gently uneven baseline that reinforces the hand-drawn feel. Overall spacing is narrow but not cramped, and the forms stay clean and legible despite their fine structure.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a personal, handwritten impression is desired—invites, cards, quotes, product tags, and lifestyle branding. It performs best at comfortable display sizes where the fine strokes and tall proportions remain clear, and works nicely for headings, pull quotes, and accent text paired with a sturdy sans or serif.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its light touch and looping gestures add a playful, breezy character without becoming overly decorative, making it feel approachable and contemporary.
The design appears intended to capture a tidy, modern handwritten script—lightweight, tall, and slightly loopy—balancing charm with readability for everyday display use.
Capitals often read as more gestural and signature-like, with sweeping curves and occasional flourish that can stand out strongly at the start of words. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and a slightly calligraphic swing in curves and terminals.
