A delicate handwritten script with monoline strokes and a tall, slender build. Letterforms are mostly upright with gentle curves, long ascenders and descenders, and occasional looped entries and exits that create a flowing rhythm without fully continuous connections. Spacing is open and even, giving the alphabet a light, breathable texture; capitals are simple and narrow with understated flourishes, while lowercase shapes stay compact with small bowls and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same spare, hand-drawn logic with rounded forms and restrained terminals.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, and event collateral where a gentle handwritten voice is desired. Its thin, open construction also works for boutique branding, packaging accents, social graphics, and short display lines; it is best used at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine strokes and loops stay crisp.
The overall tone is light, personable, and quietly refined—more like neat pen handwriting than bold brush calligraphy. It feels informal and approachable while still maintaining a tidy, modern calm that can read as slightly elegant.
The design appears intended to capture neat, contemporary penmanship with a soft cursive flow—prioritizing clarity and a calm handwritten character over dramatic swashes or heavy texture.
Many joins are implied rather than strongly ligatured, so words keep a handwritten flow while remaining clearly segmented. The long vertical stems and looped forms (notably in letters like g, j, y, and some capitals) add a graceful, rhythmic swing that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
