A delicate, pen-like script with a forward slant and mostly monoline strokes that show subtle pressure swell at curves and joins. Uppercase forms are tall and open with generous entry strokes and occasional flourish-like terminals, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably low x-height and long, slender ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and oval-driven, spacing is lively and slightly irregular in a natural way, and several letters show loose, handwritten connections that keep words flowing without becoming rigidly continuous. Numerals follow the same thin, drawn line quality and lean, with simple, readable shapes.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where an airy handwritten accent is desired. It also works nicely for short pull quotes, headings, and signature-style name treatments, especially when given ample tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and personal, like neat handwriting done with a fine liner or pointed pen. Its light touch and looping shapes feel romantic and refined, with a casual confidence that reads more like a signature than a formal text face.
Likely designed to mimic fine, contemporary cursive handwriting with an emphasis on elegance and lightness. The tall capitals and low x-height suggest an intention for display and name-centric uses rather than long-form reading.
Stroke endings often taper into small hooks or soft flicks, and some capitals incorporate extended strokes that can add a sense of motion in titles. The compact lowercase and tall proportions create a high contrast in rhythm between ascenders and the main body, giving lines a fluttery, vertical sparkle.
