A slender handwritten script with tall, willowy forms and a lightly drawn stroke that stays crisp through gentle curves and long upstrokes. Letter construction mixes simple printed shapes with occasional joins, producing a semi-connected rhythm rather than continuous cursive throughout. Capitals are especially narrow and elongated, often featuring subtle entry/exit strokes and occasional loops, while lowercase counters stay small with long ascenders and descenders that give the line a vertical, floating cadence. Numerals follow the same lean, minimal build with clean curves and restrained detailing.
Best suited to short display text where its tall, airy rhythm can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and quote graphics. It can also work for headings and subheads when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The overall tone is light and personable, like quick, neat pen lettering dressed up with a few graceful flourishes. Its narrow, tall proportions and delicate stroke create a refined, slightly whimsical voice that feels friendly without becoming loud or decorative-heavy.
Designed to capture a clean, modern handwritten look with elegant height and a gentle, flowing motion, offering a personable script voice that remains visually light and refined.
The visual color is very open due to the thin strokes and narrow set, so spacing and line height will strongly affect readability. The contrast between straight stems and curved turns is most noticeable in rounded letters and looped forms, which adds sparkle in larger sizes.
