A delicate, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and generous curves. Strokes are smooth and continuous with frequent looped ascenders/descenders, giving the letterforms a flowing, handwritten rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and open with sweeping entry and exit strokes, while lowercase characters favor simple, rounded construction and long, rising terminals. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, with narrow forms and soft curvature that keeps the texture cohesive in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where an elegant handwritten voice is desired—wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, pull quotes, and light packaging or labels. It performs best when given room to breathe, allowing the loops and long terminals to remain clear.
The overall tone feels intimate and graceful, like careful penmanship on a note or invitation. Its light touch and looping movement suggest romance and friendliness while still reading as tidy and composed rather than playful or rough.
Likely designed to capture a polished, contemporary cursive look with smooth connectivity and minimal stroke modulation. The emphasis appears to be on graceful rhythm and a signature-like presence that feels personal without looking messy.
Capitals have prominent swashes and extended cross-strokes (notably in A, F, T), creating a lively baseline movement in mixed-case settings. The joins are generally smooth and continuous, but individual letters retain enough separation to keep words legible at display sizes. Spacing appears naturally handwritten, with slightly elastic sidebearings that produce a relaxed word shape.
