A slender, right-slanted script with a pen-drawn rhythm and softly tapering stroke endings. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase bodies, and generous internal whitespace that keeps words feeling open despite the tight proportions. Strokes show subtle pressure variation and occasional hairline joins, with smooth curves, looped entries/exits, and a slightly calligraphic cadence rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are larger and more gestural, featuring extended lead-in strokes and occasional swash-like contours that add movement at the start of words.
Works best for short to medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and pull quotes where its tall proportions and looping forms can breathe. It’s especially effective when used at larger sizes with a bit of extra tracking to keep joins and terminals clear.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat signature writing with a fashion-oriented polish. It reads as calm and upscale, suggesting handwritten authenticity while staying tidy enough for display use.
Designed to capture a refined handwritten look—signature-like and fluid—while remaining consistent enough for repeatable setting in headlines and branded phrases. The emphasis appears to be on graceful motion, slender elegance, and expressive capitals rather than dense text readability.
Connectivity is intermittent: many lowercase letters link naturally, but several forms read as lightly separated or joined by minimal connectors, which contributes to a brisk, sketch-pen feel. Numerals are simple and lightly stylized, matching the script’s narrow stance and maintaining the same tapered, handwritten finish.
