A slim, handwritten cursive with a delicate, mostly monoline stroke and gentle, pen-like modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and a noticeably small lowercase body relative to the capitals. Curves are soft and slightly springy, with rounded terminals and occasional looped joins; some connections are implied rather than fully continuous, giving the rhythm a lightly sketchy, natural flow. Capitals are simple and upright-leaning with restrained flourishes, while numerals follow the same thin, hand-drawn cadence.
Well suited for short to medium-length display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, signatures, packaging labels, social posts, and pull quotes. It performs best when given room to breathe and when used at sizes where its thin strokes and compact lowercase are easily seen.
The overall tone feels relaxed and personable, like quick neat handwriting on a note or label. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and light touch lend a refined, breezy character, while the uneven joining and looping details keep it informal and approachable.
Designed to capture a tidy, contemporary handwritten look with a light, elegant presence. The narrow proportions and looped cursive cues suggest an emphasis on expressive word shapes for display typography rather than dense, long-form reading.
The sample lines show consistent slant and stroke pressure across words, with clear word shapes and generous air between strokes. The uppercase set reads as clean initial caps for headings, and the lowercase maintains a lively baseline movement that adds charm without becoming overly ornate.
