A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall ascenders and a notably small x-height that gives the text a light, floating rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with gentle, rounded turns and occasional looped entry/exit strokes, especially in the lowercase. Capitals are larger and more gesture-driven, mixing simple forms with soft swells and long curves; spacing is slightly irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way. Numerals follow the same slender, rounded construction, with open forms and modest flourishes.
Well-suited to short to medium-length phrases where a personal touch is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and light branding accents. It works best as a display handwriting style rather than for dense body copy, where the very fine strokes and small lowercase can reduce readability.
The overall tone is breezy and personable, with a soft, whimsical elegance rather than formal calligraphy. Its thin strokes and tall proportions feel lighthearted and intimate, like quick notes written with a fine pen.
Designed to emulate a refined, casual handwritten note: tall, slender forms with gentle loops and a relaxed baseline rhythm that prioritizes charm and personality over strict typographic regularity.
Connectivity is intermittent: many lowercase letters suggest cursive joining, but breaks occur naturally between some characters, preserving a handwritten cadence. The generous vertical reach of ascenders/descenders and the fine stroke weight mean it benefits from comfortable line spacing and moderate sizes to keep the texture from becoming too faint.
