A delicate, monoline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping curves. Strokes stay consistently thin with slight pressure-driven modulation, and terminals often finish in tapered flicks. Uppercase forms are tall and open with generous entry/exit swashes, while lowercase letters sit small with a notably low x-height and compact counters. Overall spacing feels lightly set and variable, with a lively baseline rhythm and occasional extended ascenders/descenders that add movement.
Best suited to short display text where its thin strokes and looping connections can remain clear—such as invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, social media graphics, and pull quotes. It also works well for signature-style wordmarks or headings when given ample size and breathing room.
The font reads as intimate and handwritten, balancing a soft elegance with a relaxed, spontaneous feel. Its looping forms and slender strokes give it a light, refined tone, while the irregular rhythm keeps it friendly and informal rather than formal calligraphy.
Likely designed to mimic quick, stylish pen handwriting: light in color, fluid in motion, and expressive in its swashes. The emphasis appears to be on graceful word shapes and a personal, signature-like impression rather than dense text readability.
Many characters rely on open bowls and long joining strokes, creating a continuous flow in word shapes. Numerals share the same thin, drawn-by-hand character, with rounded forms and occasional flourish-like turns that match the letterforms’ motion.
