A slender, looping script with a lightly calligraphic rhythm and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes read as mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin emphasis at turns and joins, and terminals tend to taper into fine hairlines. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders, tight counters, and frequent entry/exit strokes that create a softly connected flow. Capitals are larger and more gestural, featuring open loops and occasional flourish-like cross strokes, while numerals keep the same thin, handwritten logic with simple, rounded curves.
Best suited to short, expressive lines where its delicate strokes and tall proportions can shine—such as invitations, stationery, small-brand logos, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and social media graphics. It works especially well for names, headlines, and pull quotes rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone feels intimate and graceful, like neat handwriting refined for display. Its lightness and looping forms convey a gentle, romantic mood, balancing casual charm with a polished, boutique sensibility.
Designed to capture the feel of elegant cursive handwriting with a light touch, prioritizing flow, personality, and a refined handwritten silhouette for display-oriented typography.
Spacing appears intentionally variable, enhancing the handwritten cadence; some joins are implied by proximity rather than strict continuous connections. The very small x-height relative to ascenders gives words a tall, willowy silhouette, and the thin strokes benefit from generous size and breathing room.
