A slender, flowing script with a consistent rightward slant and a lightly drawn, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and many characters use long entry/exit strokes that create a continuous handwritten rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and looped (notably in rounded capitals and letters like g, y, z), while horizontals are minimal and often simplified to quick cross-strokes. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic, hand-rendered texture.
Works best for short-to-medium lines where the delicate strokes and flowing connections can be appreciated—such as invitations, personal stationery, beauty/lifestyle branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It is particularly effective for headings, names, and signature-style lockups where a handwritten character is desired.
The overall tone is refined and personal—more like a neat signature or handwritten note than a bold display brush. Its light touch and elongated forms give it a graceful, romantic feel, suited to calm, polished messaging.
Designed to mimic a clean, fast cursive hand with an emphasis on elegance and continuity. The narrow proportions, tall extenders, and restrained stroke weight suggest an intention to stay light and sophisticated while remaining clearly handwritten.
Capitals are especially prominent and airy, with large looped structures that can dominate at larger sizes. The figures follow the same handwritten logic—simple, narrow forms with gentle curvature—keeping the numeric set visually consistent with the alphabet.
