A slender, monoline handwritten script with tall, elongated proportions and a gently bouncing baseline rhythm. Strokes stay clean and even, with rounded terminals and occasional looped forms on ascenders and descenders. Capitals are simple and open with modest flourishes, while lowercase letters lean toward connected cursive behavior with narrow counters and compact bowls. Numerals mirror the same light, drawn-by-pen feel, keeping forms minimal and consistent with the letterforms.
Well-suited for short to medium-length display copy where a personal, handwritten tone is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, labels, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when paired with a simpler text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personal, like neat journaling or a quick handwritten note. Its tall, airy forms and soft curves give it a relaxed, approachable character without feeling overly decorative.
Designed to capture a tidy, modern handwritten look with minimal stroke variation and a narrow, vertically expressive silhouette. The letterforms prioritize a smooth, flowing rhythm and an informal warmth, aiming for an easygoing script that remains clean in everyday design contexts.
Spacing appears tight and vertically oriented, emphasizing height over width; this gives words a slender silhouette and a delicate texture in lines of text. Crossbars and joins are understated, helping the face remain legible while retaining a natural hand-drawn irregularity.
