A slender, monoline script with an italic slant and a light, even stroke. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, frequent loops, and occasional entry/exit swashes that create a flowing rhythm. Uppercase characters are more ornamental and varied in structure, while lowercase forms stay compact and understated, producing a pronounced scale contrast between caps and x-height. Spacing is open and the overall texture remains fine and filament-like, with smooth curves and tapered-feeling joins despite largely uniform line weight.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and tall, narrow forms can stay crisp—such as wedding stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, packaging accents, social graphics, and pull quotes. It works particularly well for short phrases, names, and headlines where the decorative capitals can carry the composition.
The tone is graceful and intimate, reading as handwritten and fashion-forward rather than casual or rugged. Its long strokes and looping gestures give it a romantic, boutique quality that feels polished but personal.
Designed to evoke a refined, handwritten signature look with elevated, calligraphic gestures. The narrow build and delicate line aim for a high-end, airy presence, prioritizing elegance and motion over dense text utility.
In text, the line has a lively cadence with subtle baseline movement and noticeable personality in capitals. The very thin strokes and condensed proportions emphasize elegance, while the simplified numerals match the script’s light, linear construction.
