A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth curves, frequent loops, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that suggest pen-drawn motion. Letterforms are mostly upright with a lightly relaxed baseline and variable spacing, producing an organic rhythm rather than rigid alignment. Capitals are simplified and narrow with open counters, while numerals and lowercase maintain a similarly airy, linear construction.
Well-suited for short, expressive copy where a handwritten feel is desirable—invites, cards, quotes, social graphics, and light branding accents. It can also work on labels or packaging when set at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing to preserve its airy, fine-line detail.
The overall tone feels light, playful, and personable, like tidy everyday handwriting. Its fine strokes and looping forms add a whimsical charm without becoming overly ornate, giving it an approachable, handmade character.
Designed to capture a clean, modern handwritten signature feel with minimal stroke contrast and a narrow, elegant footprint. The emphasis appears to be on gentle loops, tall proportions, and an easygoing rhythm that reads as authentic and personal.
In running text the joins are sometimes implied more than fully connected, so the texture alternates between gently linked cursive and separated handwritten forms. The long ascenders/descenders and open shapes create plenty of white space, keeping paragraphs looking bright and uncrowded.
