A monoline, handwritten script with a quick, slightly right-leaning rhythm and gently wavering baselines. Strokes stay consistently thin with rounded terminals and soft joins, creating an airy texture. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and compact lowercase bodies; counters remain fairly open despite the slim widths. Connectivity is intermittent—some characters link smoothly while others break—adding an informal, note-like cadence across words.
Well-suited to short to medium text where a personal, handwritten feel is desired—greeting cards, invitations, product packaging accents, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It reads best at display and headline sizes, where the thin strokes and narrow forms have enough space to breathe.
The overall tone feels friendly and conversational, like fast neat handwriting on a card or label. Its looping strokes and lively movement give it a relaxed, approachable personality with a hint of playfulness rather than formality.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of everyday cursive while staying clean and consistent enough for repeated use in branding and display typography. Its narrow proportions and light linework aim for elegance through simplicity rather than ornate calligraphy.
Capitals are simple and gesture-driven, often built from single sweeping strokes, while the lowercase shows more loops and occasional flourishes (notably in letters with descenders). Numerals follow the same light, handwritten construction and maintain the narrow, upright-to-slightly-slanted stance for a cohesive set.
