A fluid handwritten script with a consistent, monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a relatively small x-height, creating an airy vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with occasional looped joins and gentle entry/exit strokes that keep words flowing without becoming overly dense. Capitals are simple and calligraphic in feel, while numerals maintain the same light, rounded construction for a cohesive texture in mixed content.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a personal voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, social posts, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for packaging accents and headings where a light, handwritten signature-like feel is needed.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like neat, quick handwriting on a note or invitation. Its light, open forms read as friendly and relaxed, while the tall proportions and clean curves add a touch of refinement.
Designed to emulate tidy cursive handwriting with a smooth, contemporary flow and minimal stroke modulation. The tall, slim proportions and open spacing suggest an intention to stay readable in phrases and sentences while retaining a natural, hand-drawn character.
Spacing appears generous for a script, helping counters stay open and reducing visual dark spots in longer lines. The slant and varied letter widths introduce a natural hand-made rhythm that feels lively in continuous text.
