A hairline, monoline script with a consistent rightward slant and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from elongated loops and open counters, with tall ascenders and deep descenders that create a generous vertical rhythm. Capitals are notably flourished—often starting with extended lead-in strokes or large oval loops—while lowercase maintains a lighter, more abbreviated structure and a very small x-height relative to the ascenders. Spacing is loose and breathing, and the overall texture is quiet and refined rather than dense.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its hairline strokes and flourished capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, wedding stationery, boutique branding, signature-style wordmarks, and headers. It works particularly well when given ample size and whitespace, and when paired with a sturdy serif or sans for supporting text.
The tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten notes and formal signatures. Its thin strokes and swashy capitals lend a romantic, slightly whimsical character with a calm, airy sophistication.
The design appears intended to emulate refined cursive handwriting with a focus on elegance and motion. Emphasis is placed on expressive capitals and flowing connections, prioritizing a graceful handwritten look for display and personalization over dense, small-size readability.
In running text the baseline feels lively due to varied stroke lengths and prominent loops, especially in letters with descenders. The figures are slender and simple, matching the script’s hairline construction and maintaining a cohesive, understated presence alongside the alphabet.
