A monoline, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes stay smooth and lightly weighted, with rounded turns, open counters, and frequent looping in ascenders and descenders. Connections are suggested by the flowing rhythm, while many characters remain semi-joined with clear pen-lift moments, keeping word shapes readable. Capitals are simplified and narrow, with long leading strokes and occasional flourish-like terminals; figures follow the same thin, handwritten logic with open, curved forms.
It suits short to medium headlines, personal notes, invitations, quote graphics, and boutique branding where a handwritten signature feel is desired. It can also work for packaging callouts and social media overlays when set with ample size and spacing to preserve its fine strokes.
The overall tone feels airy and personable, like neat marker or pen lettering used for quick notes that still aims to look stylish. Its delicate line and generous verticality give it a refined, informal elegance rather than a bold, playful script.
The design appears intended to capture a clean, modern cursive handwriting look—fluid and stylish, but restrained in ornament—providing a signature-like texture that remains legible in display settings.
The font relies on vertical proportions and extended ascenders/descenders for character, which can create a graceful line but may need extra line spacing in longer text. The light stroke and minimal emphasis make it best where contrast against the background is strong and sizes are not too small.
