A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with gently tapered terminals, and letterforms alternate between lightly connected and softly separated, giving an informal rhythm rather than strict continuous joining. Ascenders are long and prominent, while the lowercase bodies stay compact, creating a high ascender-to-x-height ratio. Counters are open and oval, curves are elongated, and spacing feels slightly variable in a natural, hand-drawn way.
Well-suited to short to medium-length display settings where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, packaging accents, social posts, and pull quotes. It works best at comfortable display sizes where the fine strokes and compact lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is breezy and personal, like quick, neat handwriting used for notes or captions. Its slender forms and flowing loops add a touch of elegance, while the irregular connections and bouncy rhythm keep it approachable and informal.
Designed to capture the look of refined everyday handwriting: slender, slanted, and lightly flowing, with enough consistency for repeated use while preserving a natural, human cadence. The emphasis on tall capitals and long ascenders suggests an intent to feel graceful and expressive without becoming overly ornamental.
Capital letters are especially tall and gestural, often beginning with a subtle entry stroke and finishing with a light flourish. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, narrow forms that blend well alongside the letters. The texture stays clean and uncluttered, with minimal stroke buildup, making the face feel light on the page.
