A delicate, monoline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and generous use of loops. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth, continuous curves and tapered entry/exit terminals, creating an airy texture on the page. Uppercase forms are more expansive and decorative, with extended ascenders and occasional flourish-like strokes, while lowercase maintains a compact, rhythmic flow. Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwritten way, and the overall letterforms emphasize grace over rigidity.
Best suited for short to medium text where elegance and personality matter, such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and pull quotes. It works especially well when paired with a simple serif or sans for supporting text and when given comfortable letterspacing and line height.
The font conveys a light, intimate tone—poised and romantic, like a quick note written with care. Its soft motion and looping shapes feel decorative without becoming overly formal, lending a gentle sense of refinement and warmth.
Designed to emulate refined everyday handwriting with a calligraphic touch, prioritizing fluid motion, graceful loops, and decorative capitals to create a polished script look for display settings.
Capitals provide much of the visual personality, with several featuring long, sweeping strokes that can stand out in titles and initials. Numerals follow the same thin, flowing logic and read as handwritten figures rather than engineered text numerals.
