A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes are smooth and continuous with lightly tapered terminals and occasional extended entry/exit strokes, giving many letters a gently connected, pen-drawn flow. Capitals are simplified and upright-leaning with long verticals and open curves, while lowercase forms stay compact in the body with prominent ascenders/descenders and frequent loops. Numerals and punctuation follow the same thin, fluid line quality, maintaining an even, airy rhythm across text.
Well suited for short to medium phrases where a handwritten voice is desired—quotes, invitations, cards, boutique branding, and lifestyle packaging. It also works as an accent face paired with a simple sans for headers, pull quotes, or product names where an airy, personal tone is important.
The overall tone feels personal and relaxed, like neat handwriting with a touch of elegance. Its lightness and looping forms add a breezy, friendly character that reads as informal rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, contemporary handwritten feel with flowing cursive connections while staying light and uncluttered. The tall, narrow construction and looping strokes suggest a focus on graceful motion and a refined casualness for expressive display use.
Long, sweeping cross-strokes (notably in letters like t) and extended curves in forms such as J, g, and y create a distinctive, gestural movement. Spacing appears open and the slender strokes can look particularly refined at larger sizes where the subtle pen-like modulation is most noticeable.
