A delicate handwritten script with a smooth, forward slant and a fine, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, while lowercase bodies stay compact, creating a high vertical rhythm. Strokes move with continuous, flowing motion, using rounded turns, occasional open joins, and light entry/exit strokes that feel like quick pen lifts rather than rigid connections. Capitals are lightly flourished with extended curves and occasional cross-strokes that add gesture without becoming heavy.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, beauty and lifestyle branding, boutique packaging, and short quote treatments where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes or in short runs of text, where the tall proportions and fine strokes can remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and personal, like a neat signature or a carefully written note. Its lightness and slender proportions read as polished and tasteful, with a subtle romantic feel rather than playful exuberance.
Designed to emulate a refined handwritten cursive—part signature, part modern calligraphy—prioritizing lightness, vertical elegance, and smooth pen movement. The intention appears to be a stylish personal touch for premium-feeling display typography rather than dense text setting.
Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, with simple, legible shapes and occasional looped construction (notably in 8 and 9). The uppercase set has more display character than the lowercase, so the font’s personality increases in titles and initial caps. Spacing appears intentionally open to preserve the airy stroke quality and prevent the script from darkening in longer lines.
