A thin, monoline handwritten script with tall, narrow proportions and a lightly bouncy baseline. Strokes keep an even weight with minimal contrast, and letterforms rely on long verticals, open loops, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes. Uppercase characters are especially elongated and often built from single sweeping lines, while lowercase forms are compact with small counters and simple joins that suggest natural pen movement. Overall spacing is moderate, with a slightly irregular rhythm that preserves a hand-drawn feel while remaining consistent across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where its tall loops and delicate strokes can be appreciated, such as logos, product packaging, invitations, quotes, and social posts. It works particularly well for lifestyle and boutique branding, and as an accent typeface paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as light, personable, and informal, with an airy elegance that feels contemporary rather than formal calligraphic. Its looping capitals and slender construction give it a gentle, whimsical tone suited to warm, human messaging.
Designed to capture a clean, modern handwritten signature feel with expressive capitals and restrained, readable lowercase forms. The intention appears to balance casual authenticity with enough consistency to function reliably in display settings.
In running text the capitals stand noticeably taller than the lowercase, creating a distinctive headline texture. Several letters feature long ascenders/descenders and curled terminals, which adds charm but can increase line-to-line interaction at tighter leading.
