A hairline script with a steep rightward slant and long, tapering entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and compact, with small lowercase bodies contrasted by prominent ascenders and occasional descenders, creating an elegant, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely monoline with subtle pressure-like modulation, and curves are built from smooth, continuous loops; capitals often use extended lead-in strokes and open counters. Spacing is on the tight side, with a lively, handwritten baseline that remains controlled and consistent across the set.
Best suited for display settings where a delicate handwritten look is desired—wedding collateral, invitations, boutique packaging, beauty branding, and short editorial headlines or pull quotes. It will be most effective at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine strokes and compact lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is intimate and polished, like quick but practiced penmanship. Its light touch and looping forms give it a graceful, romantic feel, while the narrow, upright proportions keep it looking tidy and formal rather than playful.
Designed to emulate refined cursive handwriting with a light pen and confident, continuous motion. The emphasis on tall proportions, restrained contrast, and swashy capitals suggests an intent to provide an elegant “signature” texture for upscale, personal-facing design.
Capitals read as signature-style initials, with several letters relying on long introductory strokes that create a sweeping left-to-right motion. Numerals follow the same hairline construction and slanted posture, aiming for visual continuity with the alphabet rather than rigid, geometric forms.
