A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and a lively, variable rhythm. Strokes are hairline-thin with occasional pressure-like thickening at curves and turns, and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly scratchy ends that emphasize the hand-drawn character. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, small lowercase bodies, and open counters; capitals are larger and more gestural, with looped entries and occasional cross-strokes that feel like quick pen lifts. Spacing is uneven in a natural way, with widths changing noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, written-on-the-fly texture.
Well suited for brand marks, beauty and lifestyle packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and editorial pull quotes where a light handwritten presence is desired. It also works nicely for social media graphics and short headlines that benefit from a personal, signed-by-hand tone.
The font conveys a light, personal tone—like a quick note, a caption in a journal, or a relaxed signature. Its looping forms and slender strokes give it a gentle elegance, while the slightly irregular line quality keeps it casual and approachable rather than formal or calligraphic.
Likely designed to emulate quick, elegant handwriting with a signature-like flow—prioritizing personality and spontaneity over strict regularity. The tall proportions, fine strokes, and looped joins suggest an aim for airy sophistication while retaining the charm of real pen movement.
Legibility is strongest at display and short-text sizes where the tall, narrow silhouettes can breathe; in longer lines the thin strokes and tight internal spaces can feel delicate. Numerals match the handwritten feel, staying simple and narrow with minimal ornamentation, and the overall set maintains a consistent slanted baseline rhythm despite intentionally imperfect details.
