A tall, slender handwritten print with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. The letterforms are built from smooth, gently modulated curves and long verticals, with rounded terminals and occasional looped strokes in descenders and joins. Counters are open and lightly drawn, and spacing feels a bit lively and uneven in an intentional hand-rendered way, creating a flowing rhythm despite the unconnected construction.
This style works well for short to medium text where a refined handwritten feel is desirable—headlines, invitations, greeting cards, quotes, packaging accents, and boutique branding. It can also serve as a secondary typeface to add warmth and motion alongside a more neutral companion face.
The overall tone is light and personable, like neat quick handwriting with a touch of elegance. Its narrow, upright-to-leaning stance and long ascenders/descenders give it a graceful, slightly whimsical character that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of handwritten lettering while staying legible and orderly, emphasizing tall proportions, smooth curves, and a consistent pen-like line. It aims for a light, stylish presence that adds personality without heavy ornament.
Capitals are simple and linear with minimal ornamentation, while lowercase letters introduce more personality through soft loops and extended strokes. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic, with rounded shapes and a gently calligraphic cadence that stays restrained and clean.
