A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a tall, linear silhouette. Strokes stay consistently thin with subtle contrast from curved turns, and forms rely on elongated ascenders/descenders, open counters, and occasional looping entrances and exits. Capitals are larger and more expressive, mixing simple upright stems with sweeping curves and oval shapes, while lowercase maintains a light, continuous rhythm with many letters connecting naturally. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten construction, keeping a minimal, single-stroke feel.
Well-suited for signature-style wordmarks, wedding and event stationery, beauty and lifestyle branding, packaging accents, and social media headers where a light, elegant handwritten voice is desired. It works best at moderate to larger sizes, especially in short phrases where its slim strokes and tall forms can stay clear.
The overall tone feels intimate and airy, like neat personal handwriting dressed up with a touch of sophistication. Its tall proportions and fluid motion give it a graceful, romantic character without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to capture a refined, modern handwritten look that balances legibility with expressive, flowing movement. The intent appears to be a versatile cursive for stylish display settings, offering a personal feel with clean, controlled letterforms.
Letterforms show a slightly irregular, hand-drawn cadence that reinforces authenticity, with generous whitespace inside and around shapes. Crossbars and terminals are understated, and many joins are soft and rounded, helping words read as a continuous line.
