A light, handwritten script with tall proportions and a gently right-slanted rhythm. Strokes appear largely monoline with subtle pressure-like thick/thin moments, producing an airy color and crisp counters. Letterforms favor open loops and extended ascenders/descenders, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries. Spacing is loose and natural, and the overall texture feels sketch-like yet consistent, with clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase.
This style works best for short to medium headlines and expressive text where a personal touch is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and social media overlays. It can also serve as a signature-like accent alongside a clean sans for supporting information.
The font conveys an easygoing, personal tone—like neat handwriting on a note card. Its looping forms and buoyant verticality add a slightly playful, romantic feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident pen lettering: light in touch, loop-forward, and legible at display sizes. Its emphasis on tall, flowing forms suggests an aim for elegant informality rather than formal calligraphy.
Capitals are simplified and calligraphic, often built from single, continuous strokes with prominent loops. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slender and upright with minimal decoration, helping them blend smoothly into casual text settings.
