A monoline handwritten script with a tall, slender build and a consistent, lightly textured stroke. Letterforms lean forward with looped entries and exits, giving many characters a connected, continuous rhythm in text. The capitals are simple and linear with occasional long cross-strokes, while lowercase forms show narrow bowls, open counters, and extended ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance. Spacing is relaxed and variable in a natural handwritten way, and numerals follow the same thin, single-stroke feel with open, rounded shapes.
Well-suited to invitations, cards, and personal stationery where a handwritten voice is desirable. It also works for short quotes, social graphics, and light packaging accents, especially when used at display sizes or paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is light, personable, and informal, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its looping joins and tall proportions lend a gentle sophistication while staying approachable and unpretentious.
Designed to capture the immediacy of neat, flowing handwriting while keeping forms clean and restrained. The tall, narrow construction and looping connections aim for an elegant, contemporary script feel without heavy ornament.
In longer lines the script maintains a smooth flow, with occasional flourished strokes (notably in capitals and letters with loops) that create lively emphasis. The very thin stroke weight and delicate joins suggest it will read best when given adequate size and contrast against the background.
