A slender, monoline handwritten script with tall, elongated proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and continuous with frequent loops in capitals and ascenders, producing an elegant, lightly sketched rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and minimal modulation, and the spacing feels organic rather than mechanically even. Uppercase shapes are showy and linear, while lowercase forms are compact and simplified, creating a lively contrast in scale across mixed-case text.
This font suits short, expressive copy where a personal touch is desired—quotes, greetings, invitations, and boutique-style branding. It works especially well in headlines, names, and short phrases where the tall looped capitals can be featured without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is breezy and intimate, like quick pen lettering in a notebook. Its looping capitals and buoyant movement give it a playful, slightly romantic feel while still reading as casual and approachable.
The design appears intended to emulate fast, fluid pen handwriting with an emphasis on graceful loops and vertical elegance. It prioritizes charm and individuality over strict regularity, aiming to feel human and lightly crafted.
In text, the capitals draw significant attention due to their height and flourished loops, while the lowercase remains understated. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic with simple forms and a gentle lean, keeping the set visually consistent across letters and figures.
