A slender, monoline handwritten script with an upright stance and long, linear strokes. Letterforms are tall and lightly drawn, with narrow bowls and generous internal space, giving the alphabet an airy, vertical rhythm. Strokes show subtle pen-like wavering and occasional soft hooks and loops on entries/terminals; joins are minimal rather than continuously connected, so words read as a loose cursive print. Uppercase forms are especially elongated and simplified, with a few decorative swashes, while lowercase stays compact with thin stems and small counters.
Works best for short to medium-length display text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—brand marks, packaging labels, invitations, quote graphics, and editorial pull quotes. Its light stroke and tall forms also suit airy layouts and overlays on photography when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is informal and personal, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its lightness and tall proportions make it feel gentle and modern, with a slightly whimsical, sketchbook character rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture a clean, contemporary handwriting feel with minimal stroke contrast and a vertical, elongated silhouette. The aim appears to be a legible, stylish script that adds personality without heavy ornamentation, balancing casual notes with a fashion-forward lightness.
In the sample text, the narrow structure and thin strokes create a refined, spacious texture at larger sizes, while the tight x-height and long ascenders/descenders add a lively, slightly uneven cadence across lines. Numerals follow the same wiry, handwritten logic with simple, open shapes.
