A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and flowing, pen-like curves. Strokes are slim with noticeable contrast between hairlines and slightly heavier downstrokes, giving the letterforms a calligraphic rhythm without heavy shading. The design runs tall and narrow, with generous ascenders and descenders and a notably small body in the lowercase, creating an airy texture and lots of white space between strokes. Forms are mostly unconnected in all-caps and many lowercase letters, but they maintain consistent entry/exit strokes and looping terminals that keep the script feeling continuous.
This font works best for display settings where its thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short headline or quote treatments. It is less suited to dense paragraphs or very small sizes, where the fine hairlines and tight proportions may lose clarity.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a handwritten polish that feels suited to personal messages and stylish presentation. Its lightness and elongated proportions read as refined and romantic rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant handwritten signature feel—light, flowing, and expressive—while remaining clean enough for modern display typography. Its narrow, tall construction emphasizes sophistication and economy of space, supporting fashionable, editorial-style compositions.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from single sweeping strokes with occasional looped flourishes. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic, staying legible while preserving the script’s curved, slightly formal demeanor.
