A delicate, right-leaning handwritten script with smooth, continuous strokes and an overall monoline feel. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions and a noticeably small x-height that emphasizes long ascenders and descenders. Curves are drawn with quick, fluid motion and occasional tapered terminals, while counters stay open and light. Spacing and widths vary subtly from character to character, reinforcing an organic, pen-written rhythm rather than rigid geometric regularity.
Best suited for short to medium text where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, signature-style branding, social posts, pull quotes, and light lifestyle packaging. It performs especially well at display sizes where the tall forms and looping capitals can be appreciated.
The font reads as personal and breezy, like fast but confident handwriting on a note or invitation. Its light touch and looping forms add a gentle elegance without becoming formal, giving it a friendly, slightly romantic tone that feels human and spontaneous.
Designed to capture the feel of quick, natural cursive writing with a refined lightness—balancing legibility with expressive motion and emphasizing graceful capitals and a flowing, note-like texture.
Capitals are prominent and more gestural, often using large entry strokes and loops that create a strong initial impact in headings. Lowercase forms stay simplified and slender, prioritizing flow over strict uniformity, and numerals follow the same handwritten, lightly constructed style for visual continuity.
