A slender, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, pen-like curves. Letterforms are built from long, sweeping entry and exit strokes, with frequent loops in both capitals and ascenders/descenders, creating an even, flowing rhythm across words. Strokes stay relatively uniform in thickness with rounded terminals, and spacing feels tight but controlled, giving lines a tidy, continuous handwritten texture. Capitals are prominent and ornamental, often taller and more flourished than the lowercase, which sits compactly on the baseline with small bowls and restrained counters.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display copy where a refined handwritten voice is desired—such as signatures, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and elegant packaging. It can also work for headings or pull quotes when set with ample leading to accommodate its tall loops and flowing connections.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, leaning toward a polished handwritten look rather than casual scribble. Its looping capitals and soft curvature convey a romantic, boutique feel with a calm, personal warmth.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, stylish handwriting with a calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing fluid connectivity, graceful uppercase flourishes, and a consistent, controlled rhythm for elegant display use.
Numerals follow the same cursive logic, with simple, slanted forms and occasional soft curves that keep them visually aligned with the script. The font maintains a steady tempo in text settings, where the connective strokes and extended ascenders/descenders contribute to a sense of motion and continuity.
