A delicate, pen-like script with monoline strokes and a lightly swashed rhythm. Forms are tall and slim with generous ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase sits small relative to the capitals, giving a high-contrast-in-scale silhouette even where stroke weight stays consistent. Curves are open and lightly looped, terminals taper gently, and many letters carry subtle entry/exit strokes that keep words feeling fluid without becoming fully joined. Overall spacing is airy, with narrow letterforms and a calm, even baseline flow.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where its thin strokes and tall, narrow forms can breathe—such as signatures, pull quotes, greeting cards, invitations, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for packaging or social graphics when set at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing to preserve clarity.
The font reads as personal and relaxed, like quick, neat handwriting with a touch of flourish. Its lightness and tall proportions add a refined, breezy feel, while the loops and long stems keep it friendly and informal rather than formal calligraphy.
The design appears intended to mimic a refined everyday handwriting: fast, light, and legible, with just enough loops and swashes to feel expressive. The tall proportions and understated connections aim to provide a stylish handwritten look that remains clean in display settings.
Capitals feature prominent height and occasional extended strokes that can act as natural accents in headings. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten in character, matching the letterforms’ light, open construction.
