A delicate, monoline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, flowing entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, looping gestures with occasional extended cross-strokes and generous curves, giving the outlines a light, open feel. Capitals are tall and expressive with sweeping swashes, while lowercase forms stay compact with relatively small counters and simple joining behavior that reads like quick pen lettering rather than fully connected script. Numerals follow the same handwritten rhythm, with rounded bowls and slender diagonals that keep the overall texture light.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a light, handwritten sophistication is desired—such as invitations, cards, beauty and lifestyle packaging, boutique wordmarks, and pull quotes. It performs best with comfortable letterspacing and ample line height to let the long strokes and tall capitals breathe.
The font conveys a graceful, intimate tone—like a neat personal note written with a fine-tip pen. Its soft loops and elongated strokes feel romantic and slightly formal, without becoming stiff or ornamental to the point of ceremony.
The design appears intended to capture elegant everyday handwriting: a fine-line cursive with expressive capitals and smooth, pen-driven motion. It prioritizes a refined, personal voice for display use while maintaining enough regularity to set readable phrases and short passages.
In longer lines, the consistent slant and thin strokes create an even, airy color, while extended ascenders and distinctive capital shapes provide emphasis in headings and names. Some glyphs feature idiosyncratic handwritten details (like long crossbars and narrow joins) that add personality and a crafted, human cadence.
