A delicate cursive script with a fine, monoline stroke and an overall rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly looping, with occasional tapered terminals and small, calligraphic flicks; joins appear selective rather than fully continuous, giving it a handwritten, sketch-like flow. Capitals are more gestural and flourished, while lowercase forms stay compact with minimal internal counters and a distinctly small x-height.
This script suits wedding or event invitations, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes where a light, handwritten elegance is desired. It works best at display sizes where the fine strokes and long verticals can remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a refined, intimate tone—light, graceful, and personal, like quick signature writing or an elegant note. Its slender lines and tall proportions feel romantic and fashion-adjacent, while the informal stroke quirks keep it approachable and human.
The design appears intended to mimic a graceful, lightly flourished handwriting style—prioritizing elegance, speed-of-pen character, and a signature-like presence over formal calligraphic rigidity.
In text, spacing feels open due to the thin stroke and narrow bodies, while extended ascenders/descenders add drama and movement on the line. Numerals follow the same airy construction, with simple, handwritten shapes that visually match the letters.
