A slender, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and a tall, elongated proportion. Strokes feel pen-drawn and fluid, with smooth curves, occasional looped ascenders/descenders, and lightly tapered terminals that keep the texture soft rather than sharp. Letterforms alternate between simple, open constructions and more decorative swashes (notably in several capitals), creating an uneven, natural rhythm typical of quick personal writing. Spacing is relatively open for a script, helping the thin strokes remain legible, while the overall silhouette stays narrow and vertical.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a human, handwritten voice is desired—invites, cards, personal stationery, packaging callouts, boutique branding, and pull quotes. The fine stroke and narrow footprint suit elegant headlines and subheads, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing on clean backgrounds.
The tone is light, personal, and slightly playful—like a neat, expressive note written with a fine pen. Its looping capitals and airy texture give it a romantic, handcrafted feel without becoming overly formal or ornamental.
Designed to emulate a refined, everyday cursive written with a fine-tip pen, balancing legibility with a touch of flourish. The emphasis on tall proportions and looped capitals suggests an aim for graceful, expressive word shapes suitable for display-driven, personal messaging.
Capitals tend to be more calligraphic and distinctive than the lowercase, with a few dramatic loops and tall cross-strokes that can become focal points in words. Lowercase remains compact and simple, with small counters and minimal flourish, which helps maintain readability in longer phrases. Numerals follow the same pen-written logic, with simple forms and gentle curves that match the script’s rhythm.
