A delicate, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and a quick, pen-like rhythm. Strokes are thin and smooth with subtle pressure changes at turns, producing tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like joins. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and many glyphs feature open loops and extended entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing connections. Uppercase characters are especially swoopy and gestural, while lowercase forms stay compact and lightly linked, keeping word shapes graceful and continuous.
Well-suited to short, expressive lines such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging accents where a handwritten signature feel is desirable. It works best at display sizes with comfortable letterspacing and ample line height, and is most effective when paired with a clean serif or sans for body text.
The overall tone is refined and personable, like neat handwritten correspondence. Its light touch and looping movement read as romantic and airy, with a calm, elegant informality rather than a bold or playful feel.
Designed to capture a polished handwritten script with elegant capitals and smooth, continuous lowercase forms, prioritizing graceful word rhythm and a personal signature-like impression over dense text readability.
Capitals have prominent swashes and cross-strokes (notably on letters like A, F, and T), which can create expressive beginnings but also add horizontal activity in tight settings. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic and remain simple and legible, matching the script’s understated, pen-drawn character.
