A delicate, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and a mostly monoline stroke that swells subtly on curves and terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and many glyphs use open loops and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Spacing and widths vary in a natural, pen-written way, with rounded joins, soft terminals, and occasional extended cross-strokes and swashes in capitals. Numerals and lowercase share the same light, flowing construction, keeping an overall clean, uncluttered texture.
It suits short to medium text where a personal, handwritten tone is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, boutique packaging, and social media graphics. It also works well for logo-style wordmarks or nameplates when set with comfortable letterspacing and ample line height.
The font feels light, personable, and upbeat, like neat handwriting used for notes or invitations. Its looping forms and gentle rhythm add a touch of romance and refinement while remaining informal and approachable.
The design appears intended to emulate tidy, modern cursive handwriting with an airy, refined presence. It balances expressive loops and tall proportions with a restrained stroke weight to stay legible and elegant in display-oriented settings.
Capitals are more expressive than the lowercase, often featuring larger loops and longer lead-in strokes that create a signature-like silhouette. The lowercase maintains readability through simple, open counters and restrained connections, while descenders (notably in g, j, y) add graceful movement to lines of text.
