A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall, looping ascenders and descenders and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth curves and occasional tapered terminals, giving the letterforms an airy feel. Proportions skew tall and compact, with small lowercase bodies contrasted by prominent extenders; counters are open and rounded, and many joins suggest a continuous pen movement even when characters are not fully connected.
Works best for short to medium display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and social media headlines. The thin strokes and compact proportions favor clean backgrounds and moderate sizes where the loops and extenders have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels informal and personable, like quick neat handwriting in a notebook. Its narrow, looping shapes add a whimsical elegance without becoming formal, making it feel friendly and lightly romantic rather than corporate or technical.
Designed to emulate an easy, everyday cursive hand with consistent pen pressure and a light, flowing motion. The emphasis on tall loops, rounded forms, and a compact lowercase suggests an intention to create an approachable signature-like style that remains legible in phrases and headings.
Uppercase forms are simple and linear with rounded turns and minimal ornament, while numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic with clear, single-stroke construction. In text, spacing reads tight and vertical, emphasizing the tall extenders and giving words a compact, rhythmic texture.
