A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lightly slanted rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle pressure variation, creating clean hairline curves and occasional tapered terminals. Capitals are elongated and simplified, with open bowls and long ascenders that give the set a vertical, airy texture. Lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably small x-height, frequent looped descenders, and smooth entry/exit strokes; overall spacing feels loose and light, keeping the texture open rather than dense.
Well-suited for short, expressive text such as quotes, greetings, invitations, and social media graphics where a personal note is desired. It can also add a light, handcrafted feel to packaging accents or headings, especially when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is breezy and personable, reading like quick, neat handwriting rather than formal calligraphy. Its fine strokes and tall forms lend a soft elegance, while the playful loops and irregularities keep it friendly and informal.
Designed to capture a refined, everyday handwritten look: tall, graceful letterforms with gentle loops and a light touch. The emphasis appears to be on an airy, stylish signature-like presence rather than dense text setting.
The style relies on thin strokes and open counters, so it appears most comfortable at larger sizes or in situations where the background contrast is strong. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying narrow and lightly built to match the letters.
