A delicate, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and tall, slender proportions. Strokes stay light and clean with smooth, pen-like curves, minimal emphasis on thick–thin modulation, and occasional tapered terminals. Capitals are relatively large and open, built from long arcs and loops that create a graceful entry into words, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing is tight and the letterforms track in a continuous rhythm, with selective joining and understated swashes that keep the texture open rather than dense.
Works best for short, prominent text where its delicate strokes and tall cursive rhythm can be appreciated—logotypes, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, invitations, and social media graphics. It can also serve as an accent script for pull quotes or headings when paired with a sturdy sans or serif for body text.
The font reads as intimate and airy, combining a refined, fashion-forward elegance with the spontaneity of quick handwriting. Its narrow, rising cadence and looping gestures give it a romantic, journal-like tone that feels personal and expressive without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to capture an elegant handwritten voice with a narrow, lofted silhouette and minimal stroke weight, prioritizing a smooth cursive flow and tasteful loops for a polished yet personal impression.
The design relies on tall vertical movement and extended loops (especially in capitals and letters with long extenders), so it maintains a light, flowing color at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, rounded constructions and a relaxed baseline feel.
