A slender, monoline script with a consistent rightward slant and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are tall and compact with narrow set widths, relying on smooth curves, looped strokes, and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest connective writing even when characters are separated. Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from a single flowing stroke with open counters, while lowercase shows small bowls and a compressed core with relatively tall ascenders and long, sweeping descenders. Numerals echo the same drawn, slightly bouncy construction with simple curves and light terminals.
Works well for short to medium lines where a handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It can also support boutique-style branding and light packaging where a personable, crafted feel is important, especially at display sizes.
The tone feels personal and breezy, like quick neat handwriting on invitations or notes. Its looping motion and tall proportions add a touch of elegance, while the informal stroke endings keep it friendly rather than formal.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, stylish cursive handwriting: tall, narrow letterforms with looped gestures and a smooth, continuous flow. The emphasis appears to be on expressiveness and charm rather than strict uniformity.
Spacing and rhythm are intentionally uneven in a natural way, creating a handwritten cadence across words. Some forms use extended cross strokes and long curves that can become focal points in short phrases, especially in capitals and letters with descenders.
