A slender handwritten script with a mostly monoline stroke and occasional subtle pressure changes. Letterforms are tall and wiry, with compact lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, slightly spidery rhythm. Curves are smooth but not overly polished, showing small variations in stroke start/finish and a gently wandering baseline typical of pen writing. Connections appear intermittently in text—some letters link fluidly while others remain separated—giving a natural, note-like texture.
Well-suited to short to medium-length text where a personal, handwritten impression is desired—greeting cards, invitations, pull quotes, packaging labels, and social media graphics. Because the strokes are very thin and the forms are narrow, it reads best at comfortable display sizes or with generous spacing in print and on screen.
The overall tone is light, informal, and approachable, like quick personal handwriting on a card or label. Its thin strokes and looping forms add a delicate, whimsical feel without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate quick, everyday pen handwriting with a light touch, balancing legibility with natural variation. The emphasis on tall proportions and looping joins suggests an aim for an elegant but relaxed cursive voice that feels authentic rather than formal.
Capitals are simple and tall, often built from single continuous strokes with minimal ornament, while the lowercase shows more loops (notably in letters like g, y, and z) that add character. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with rounded forms and slight irregularities that keep them consistent with the text texture.
