A slender, monoline handwritten script with tall ascenders and generous vertical emphasis. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with occasional looped entries and exits, producing a soft, flowing rhythm while remaining mostly unconnected at smaller shapes. Uppercase forms are narrow and elongated, with simple construction and subtle irregularities that reinforce a natural hand-drawn feel. Lowercase shows compact bodies with long ascenders/descenders and open counters, while numerals follow the same thin, upright, handwritten logic with simple curves and minimal ornament.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display text where a handwritten personality is desired, such as branding accents, packaging callouts, invitations, quotes, and social media graphics. It can work as a secondary voice alongside a neutral sans or serif, adding an informal, personal layer to titles, labels, and highlight phrases.
The overall tone is light and personable, like quick neat handwriting in a notebook. Its thin lines and high verticality give it an elegant, slightly whimsical energy without feeling formal or rigid. The subtle inconsistencies and looped gestures convey warmth and informality.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, modern handwritten look with an emphasis on tall, narrow forms and a smooth cursive flow. It prioritizes personality and a natural pen rhythm over strict uniformity, aiming for an approachable script suitable for contemporary display use.
Spacing appears airy, and the tall capitals can dominate in mixed-case settings, creating a distinctive headline texture. The stroke delicacy suggests it will read best when given sufficient size or contrast against the background, especially in longer passages.
