A slender, monoline cursive with smooth, rounded strokes and gentle entry/exit terminals that give letters a lightly connected rhythm. Proportions skew tall and narrow, with prominent ascenders and descenders and a noticeably small lowercase body, creating an airy vertical texture. Curves are clean and even, with occasional loop construction in letters like g, j, y, and z, and simple, open counters that keep the color light on the page. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with soft curves and minimal angularity.
Works well for short to medium text where a handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, social media graphics, and lifestyle branding. It’s especially suited to headings, pull quotes, product labels, and signature-style accents where the tall, narrow rhythm can add elegance without feeling rigid.
The overall tone feels personable and relaxed, like neat everyday handwriting with a hint of playfulness. Its light touch and buoyant loops read as warm and approachable rather than formal, making text feel conversational and human.
Designed to emulate tidy, contemporary cursive handwriting with a light, flowing cadence. The narrow proportions, looped forms, and restrained stroke contrast suggest an intention to stay legible while preserving a personal, handcrafted feel for expressive display use.
Uppercase forms are simplified and slightly ornamental, while lowercase forms carry most of the flowing cursive character. Letterforms maintain consistent stroke weight and spacing, and the tall vertical emphasis makes lines feel elegant while still informal.
