A hairline, monoline script with a pronounced rightward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Letterforms are built from long entry and exit strokes, with frequent looped constructions and occasional extended cross-strokes that sweep through the forms. Uppercase characters are especially spacious and decorative, while lowercase stays compact with a notably small x-height and fine joins that keep the rhythm light. Overall spacing feels open, with a graceful, slightly irregular handwritten flow rather than rigid mechanical repetition.
Best suited to display settings where delicacy is an asset: boutique branding, wedding suites, invitations, beauty/fashion editorial accents, product packaging, and short pull-quotes or headings. It works well when paired with a sturdy serif or sans for body text and when used with ample tracking and whitespace.
The font conveys a refined, intimate tone—light, graceful, and a bit dramatic—like quick formal handwriting done with a sharp pen. Its thin strokes and sweeping gestures read as upscale and expressive, with a soft, romantic sensibility.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, elegant cursive penmanship—prioritizing gesture, line economy, and stylish uppercase swashes for a signature-like effect in headlines and personal notes.
Because the strokes are extremely thin and many details rely on long, intersecting lines, the style is most legible when given generous size and contrast against the background. The numerals match the same airy, handwritten construction and maintain the slender, slanted rhythm of the letters.
