A slender, handwritten cursive with a smooth monoline feel and gentle stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions and generous ascenders/descenders that give the line a light, vertical rhythm. Curves are open and rounded, with occasional looped joins in the lowercase and simple, unembellished terminals; capitals mix print-like structures with handwritten softness. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural, written texture while keeping overall forms clean and legible.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a personal handwritten voice is desired—invites, greeting cards, small packaging lines, quote graphics, and casual branding accents. It works especially well at display sizes where the tall proportions and looping details remain clear.
The font reads as approachable and informal, with a relaxed, note-to-self energy. Its looping strokes and tall, delicate forms create a breezy, playful tone that feels human and lightly expressive rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture an everyday cursive handwriting look with a light touch: tall, narrow forms, subtle irregularity, and smooth loops that keep the texture lively while maintaining readability in common phrases and headings.
Uppercase characters tend to stand more independently while lowercase forms show more connected cursive behavior, especially in letters with loops and entry/exit strokes. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the same thin, vertical rhythm and rounded movement seen in the letters.
