A delicate monoline script with a steady rightward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are narrow and lightly built, with open bowls and occasional extended loops in capitals and descenders that add flourish without heavy ornament. Strokes stay mostly consistent in thickness, with subtle contrast created by curvature and pen-like terminals; joins are smooth and flowing, producing a continuous rhythm in words. Lowercase proportions are tall and slender with a notably petite x-height and long ascenders/descenders, while numerals follow the same airy, handwritten structure.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where its fine strokes and flowing connections can remain clear—such as wedding suites, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and social graphics. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when given generous size and breathing room, but it’s less appropriate for small UI text or dense paragraphs due to its light build and petite lowercase.
The overall tone is intimate and graceful, with a breezy handwritten feel that reads as friendly and refined rather than formal. Its looping capitals and elongated strokes give it a romantic, slightly whimsical character suited to expressive, personal messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident pen handwriting with an elegant tilt and restrained calligraphic flair. It prioritizes fluid word shapes and expressive capitals to create a polished, personal signature-like look.
Capitals are more expressive than the lowercase, featuring prominent loops and occasional crossing strokes that create visual accents. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwritten way, and the most extended swashes can increase line length and require comfortable line spacing in multi-line settings.
