A slender handwritten script with a quick, pen-like rhythm and gently wavering stroke edges. Forms are predominantly right-leaning with narrow bodies, open counters, and frequent looped construction in both capitals and lowercase. Strokes show subtle pressure changes and tapered terminals, with long ascenders/descenders that create a tall, vertical texture over a comparatively small lowercase body. Spacing is loose and naturalistic, and many letters suggest soft joins even when not fully connected, producing an overall flowing line.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where a human, handwritten voice is desired—greeting cards, invitations, brand quotes, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings or signatures, while very small sizes may lose some of the fine, delicate detail.
The font feels informal and personable, like neat notes written with a light hand. Its tall loops and delicate strokes add a touch of elegance and whimsy, giving the text a friendly, slightly romantic tone without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to mimic quick, natural cursive writing with a refined, airy feel. The intention appears to be an expressive script that reads as authentic and personal, with enough consistency to function in display text while preserving the spontaneity of handwriting.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from single continuous strokes with pronounced entry/exit swashes. Lowercase has a mix of open, simplified shapes and occasional tighter loops (notably in letters like g, y, and j), creating a varied, handwritten texture. Numerals are simple and upright-leaning, matching the light, pen-drawn character of the alphabet.
