A tall, slender handwritten script with an upright stance and a smooth, pen-drawn rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thin hairlines and darker downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional gentle swelling where strokes overlap. Letterforms are narrow with generous vertical reach, featuring looped ascenders/descenders and mostly open, rounded counters that keep the texture light. Connections appear selective rather than strictly continuous, giving the line a natural, written cadence rather than a rigidly joined script.
Works best where a casual handwritten voice is desired—brand accents, boutique packaging, social media graphics, invitations, and short quote treatments. It can also serve as a secondary display face paired with a neutral sans for headers, pull quotes, or product names where a personal touch is needed.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick but careful lettering in a notebook or on a label. Its narrow, vertical energy reads lively and modern, while the looping forms add a soft, approachable warmth.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, upright handwriting with a refined pen-contrast look while keeping the overall texture light and compact. Its proportions and selective joining suggest a focus on quick readability in short-to-medium phrases, with expressive capitals to add character in display settings.
Capitals are especially tall and expressive, with simplified, handwritten construction that stands out well at display sizes. Numerals follow the same pen-like contrast and slim proportions, maintaining a consistent handwritten character across the set.
