A delicate monoline script with a rightward slant and a loose, handwritten rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thin with rounded terminals, favoring long, looping curves and narrow letter bodies. Capitals are tall and gestural with simple swashes and occasional cross-strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with very small counters and modest joins that feel more like lightly connected writing than fully continuous script. Overall spacing is on the open side, letting the slender outlines breathe, and the numerals follow the same pared-back, handwritten construction.
It suits short-to-medium text where a personal, refined handwritten feel is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and social media graphics. It works especially well for names, taglines, and highlighted phrases where its tall, slender script can set an elegant tone.
The font reads as light, graceful, and personal, like a quick note written with a fine pen. Its looping forms and airy texture give it a romantic, slightly playful tone without becoming overly ornate.
The letterforms suggest an intention to capture the immediacy of handwritten cursive while keeping the construction clean and legible through consistent thin strokes and restrained decoration. The prominent, graceful capitals appear designed to provide instant personality for titles and names.
The design leans on extended ascenders/descenders and smooth oval motions, creating a vertical, lyrical silhouette in words. In mixed-case settings, the more expressive capitals stand out strongly, giving text a headline-like cadence when initial caps are used.
