A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a tall, slender build and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes are smooth and continuous with frequent looped entries and exits, creating a flowing rhythm rather than rigid calligraphic modulation. Uppercase forms are large and expressive with extended curves and occasional long cross-strokes, while lowercase letters sit small with very tall ascenders and deep, narrow descenders. Overall spacing is open and light, favoring graceful, vertical gestures and minimal terminal weight.
Well-suited for signature lines, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a light, handwritten touch is desired. It also works for short quotes, headings, and packaging accents, especially when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The font feels personal and refined, like quick but practiced pen writing on a note or invitation. Its thin strokes and elongated loops add a breezy elegance, while the lively uppercase gives it a slightly playful, signature-like character.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of an elegant, modern handwritten note—minimal in stroke weight but expressive in proportion—providing a refined script look without heavy calligraphic contrast.
Letterforms show a casual, handwritten consistency with occasional stroke overlaps and slender joins that read best at moderate sizes. Numerals are similarly light and simple, matching the script’s narrow, airy texture.
