A delicate cursive script with a slender, monoline-like stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and lightly constructed, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body relative to capitals. Curves are open and elliptical, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped construction in letters like g, j, y, and Q, creating an elastic rhythm. Capitals are more flamboyant and gestural, often using extended lead-in strokes and soft swashes, while lowercase maintains a clean, lightly connected handwritten flow.
Well-suited to wedding and event invitations, personal stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, and elegant packaging where a light, handwritten accent is desired. It performs best in short to medium-length settings such as logos, signatures, pull quotes, and display lines, and can also work for brief paragraphs when given generous size and line spacing.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like neat handwriting done with a fine pen. Its airy spacing and sweeping capitals give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the restrained stroke weight keeps it understated and polite rather than loud or playful.
Designed to emulate refined cursive handwriting with an emphasis on speed, fluidity, and graceful proportion. The tall forms, small lowercase body, and swashy capitals suggest an intention to provide a sophisticated script voice for display and personal-mark applications.
Connections between letters are selective rather than fully continuous, which helps preserve clarity at smaller sizes but keeps the script feel in running text. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic with simple curves and minimal ornamentation, matching the font’s gentle cadence.
