A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly drawn, pen-like stroke. Forms are mostly upright with gentle curvature, and many letters show looped entry/exit strokes that occasionally connect in running text. Stroke contrast appears from pressure changes, with tapered terminals and sporadic thickening on turns and downstrokes. The lowercase uses small bodies with notably tall ascenders and long, flowing descenders, creating a vertical rhythm; spacing is a bit irregular in an intentional, handwritten way, and counters remain open for an airy texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics. It can also work for light, boutique branding touches such as packaging callouts or header text, especially at larger sizes where the thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe.
The overall tone feels personal and informal, like quick neat handwriting in a journal or on a note. Its light touch and looping gestures give it a soft, friendly character, with just enough whimsy to feel expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to capture an everyday cursive handwriting look with refined, tall letterforms and a light, pen-on-paper texture. It prioritizes charm and immediacy over strict regularity, aiming for a natural rhythm that feels human and spontaneous.
Capitals are simple and tall, often built from a single continuous gesture, and they set an elegant, slightly dramatic silhouette at the start of words. Letter shapes vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the natural hand-drawn feel; some joins and cross-strokes are minimal, which can make the texture feel spacious at larger sizes.
