A delicate, monoline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, continuous stroke rhythm. Letterforms are tall and softly looped, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small x-height that gives words a stretched, linear profile. Capitals are simplified but expressive, often built from a single flowing gesture with occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest connection. Counters stay open and the joins are clean, creating an even, pen-written texture across text despite the light stroke.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a refined handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, boutique branding, cosmetics or lifestyle packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It also works effectively as a signature-style accent paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and understated, leaning toward a personal, handwritten elegance rather than bold display flair. Its fine line and elongated proportions convey a gentle, romantic feel that reads as calm, tasteful, and slightly formal.
Designed to emulate a neat, contemporary pen script with a light touch, prioritizing fluid movement, elegance, and a handwritten authenticity. The tall proportions and looping joins aim to create a graceful headline and signature tool for premium, personal communication.
Spacing appears fairly open and the connected cursive flow is strongest in lowercase, while capitals tend to stand apart as ornamental initials. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with simple, lightly looped shapes that maintain the script’s airy texture.
