A slender, monoline handwritten script with a rightward slant and a lively, bouncing baseline. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, frequent loop construction, and rounded terminals that mimic continuous pen motion. Strokes stay even throughout, with occasional entry/exit strokes and subtle overshoots that keep the texture organic rather than mechanically uniform. Capitals are larger and more gestural, often built from single sweeping strokes that contrast with the simpler, compact lowercase.
This font suits short-to-medium headlines and expressive copy such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, and social posts. It also works well for boutique packaging and labels where a personal, handwritten touch is desired; for best results, give it ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is light and personable, like quick, neat handwriting on a card or note. Its looping forms and buoyant rhythm give it a slightly playful, romantic feel without becoming overly formal or ornate.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, everyday cursive handwriting feel—fluid and looped, but still tidy and legible. It prioritizes a light, graceful texture and expressive capitals to add character in display settings.
Connections between letters appear natural in running text, while individual glyphs still read clearly when isolated. Numerals are simple and hand-drawn in spirit, matching the script’s narrow proportions and rounded turns.
