A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a gentle forward slant. Strokes stay smooth and even, with soft curves, occasional loops, and lightly tapered terminals that feel pen-drawn rather than engineered. The lowercase shows a mix of connected and loosely separated letters, creating an informal rhythm; ascenders are prominent and the x-height sits relatively low, giving words a vertical, breezy texture. Capitals are simple and narrow with understated flourish, pairing cleanly with the flowing lowercase.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as quotes, invitations, cards, and lifestyle branding where a personal touch is desired. It works best at moderate to larger sizes where the slim strokes and narrow forms remain clear, and can add a casual signature-like feel to packaging labels, social posts, and headings.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like quick, neat handwriting in a journal or on a note. Its buoyant verticality and relaxed joining convey an easy, friendly energy without feeling overly decorative or formal.
Designed to capture an elegant, everyday handwriting look—clean, slender, and lightly playful—balancing readability with a natural cursive flow. The restrained ornament and consistent linework suggest an emphasis on versatile, friendly display use rather than formal calligraphy.
Letterforms maintain consistent stroke weight and a steady baseline, while subtle variations in loop size and joins preserve a natural, hand-drawn character. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten style, with open shapes and minimal ornamentation that keep them visually quiet alongside the letters.
