A fine, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and a lightly drawn, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, long ascenders and descenders, and a notably small x-height that emphasizes the vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and looping, with frequent entry/exit strokes that suggest natural handwriting connections even when characters appear set individually. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall texture stays light and even, with open counters and minimal modulation keeping forms clean at small sizes.
Well-suited to short, elegant copy such as invitations, announcements, greeting cards, and pull quotes. The expressive capitals make it effective for name marks or signature-style branding, and it can add a personal note to headings and packaging where a delicate handwritten feel is desired.
The tone is intimate and refined, like quick but careful handwriting. Its light touch and flowing loops read as calm, graceful, and slightly romantic, lending an understated, personal character rather than a bold statement.
Designed to capture a neat, flowing handwriting style with an emphasis on lightness and speed of motion. The narrow, tall construction and looping cursive strokes aim for an elegant written rhythm that feels human and informal while remaining tidy and legible for display use.
Capitals tend to be more expressive, with larger loops and sweeping strokes that create emphasis at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim and simple so they blend into text rather than calling attention to themselves.
