A delicate, hairline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and smooth, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a small x-height that gives the lowercase a refined, diminutive presence. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle pressure-like modulation, and many capitals feature extended entry strokes and soft, looped bowls. Spacing is open and slightly variable, reinforcing an organic rhythm rather than strict mechanical regularity.
This font works best where a personal, elegant handwritten voice is needed—such as signatures, invitation suites, short quotes, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and boutique branding. It is most effective at display sizes or in brief lines where its long ascenders, small x-height, and swashy capitals have room to breathe.
The overall tone is intimate and graceful, like quick ink on paper refined into a consistent style. Its light touch and looping capitals convey a romantic, journal-like feel, suitable for expressive, human-forward typography rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended to emulate refined cursive penmanship—light, fast, and graceful—while maintaining enough consistency to function as a font for polished display use. Emphasis is placed on expressive capitals and a flowing baseline rhythm to create a distinctive handwritten signature feel.
Uppercase forms are more decorative and larger in scale, with several featuring generous swashes that can dominate a line in short settings. Lowercase characters stay simple and connected, with compact counters and minimal ornamentation, while figures are thin and handwritten in spirit, matching the same airy color.
