A tall, handwritten script with a lightly brushed, monoline feel and gently tapered stroke ends. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body relative to the capitals. Strokes show natural hand variance and slightly irregular joins, with frequent looped constructions (notably in b, d, l, and g) and open, rounded counters. Overall spacing is loose and the rhythm is lively, producing a soft, sketch-like texture in text.
Well-suited for short display text where a human, handcrafted voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, boutique packaging, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes where the light strokes and tight proportions have room to breathe.
The font conveys an informal, personable tone—like quick marker or pen lettering on a note or invitation. Its tall proportions and looping strokes add a playful, slightly whimsical character while remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, natural cursive handwriting with a tall, elegant silhouette and minimal polish. It prioritizes charm and personal tone over strict regularity, giving layouts a spontaneous, hand-lettered presence.
Uppercase forms are simplified and slender, pairing comfortably with the small, delicate lowercase. Numerals match the handwritten style with narrow, upright figures and minimal ornamentation, keeping the set consistent across letters and numbers.
