A slender, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, loop-driven forms. Strokes maintain an even weight with smooth curves and tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a light, quick, pen-drawn feel. Ascenders and descenders are notably long, while lowercase counters are compact, creating a high vertical rhythm and plenty of white space. Connection behavior is mixed—many lowercase letters link naturally, while others break cleanly—resulting in a lively, variable cursive flow.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired, such as notes, invitations, greeting cards, and quote graphics. It can also support light branding applications (packaging accents, boutique labels, social posts) when used at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to preserve its airy rhythm.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat everyday handwriting captured with a fine pen. Its open spacing and gentle loops lend a calm, approachable character, while the brisk slant and simplified strokes keep it contemporary rather than ornamental.
Likely designed to emulate clean, contemporary cursive handwriting with a fine-pen touch—prioritizing speed, clarity, and a natural written cadence over formal calligraphic contrast or heavy ornamentation.
Capitals are simple and upright in construction but still slanted, with understated flourishes rather than dramatic swashes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and minimal decoration, staying visually consistent with the alphabet. The texture remains smooth and even across words, producing an uncluttered line despite the tall proportions.
