A slim, handwritten script with a monoline feel and gently slanted, upright-leaning rhythm. Strokes stay clean and lightly modulated, with tall ascenders and long, tapering descenders that give the line a lanky vertical emphasis. Letterforms are loosely connected rather than fully continuous, and many shapes use simple looped entries/exits that keep spacing open and the texture light. Capitals are taller and more gestural, with occasional long strokes that add emphasis without becoming ornate.
Works well for short to medium copy where a human, handwritten presence is desired—invites, cards, quotes, social posts, and boutique packaging. It can also suit headings or pull quotes when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The tone is informal and personable, like quick pen notes or a neat signature. Its narrow, airy texture reads friendly and lightly playful while still feeling tidy enough for everyday messaging and lifestyle branding.
Designed to capture a natural pen-written look with a clean, uncluttered construction and generous vertical gestures. The emphasis appears to be on creating an elegant, narrow handwritten texture that stays readable while retaining an informal, personal character.
The set shows consistent slant and stroke behavior across upper- and lowercase, with distinctive, elongated capitals that can stand out in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic—simple, narrow figures with a relaxed baseline presence—supporting a cohesive, note-like voice in mixed text.
