A slender, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and mostly monoline strokes that occasionally swell at curves and terminals. Letterforms are tall and compact with tight counters and long, sweeping ascenders and capitals, giving the set a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, with many characters linking through soft entry strokes while others stand as separate pen gestures. Terminals are tapered and often slightly hooked, and the overall texture stays light and open with generous white space between strokes.
Best suited to short-to-medium phrases where its tall, narrow forms and expressive capitals can shine—such as branding, beauty/fashion packaging, invitations, social graphics, and signature-style headings. It can also work for pull quotes or small accents in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone feels intimate and refined—like quick, confident penmanship cleaned up for display. Its narrow, high-waisted rhythm reads graceful and slightly dramatic, lending a romantic, boutique feel without becoming overly formal.
Designed to capture the look of real pen-written cursive with a polished, modern silhouette—prioritizing elegant word shapes, lively uppercase flair, and an airy, lightweight presence for display-driven use.
Uppercase forms are especially expressive, featuring extended loops and occasional cross-strokes that create lively word shapes in headlines. The numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, airy construction and minimal ornament. In longer lines, the font creates a delicate, fast-moving baseline flow with noticeable variation in letter widths that keeps the texture organic.
