A delicate, pen-like script with slender monoline strokes and an overall right-leaning rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, creating an open, airy texture across words. Terminals are softly tapered and rounded, and many capitals feature simple loop or swash-like entries without becoming overly ornate. Spacing is relatively loose for a script, helping the thin strokes remain clear in running text, while character widths vary naturally as in handwriting.
Well-suited for wedding collateral, invitations, greeting cards, and short quotes where a soft handwritten tone is desired. It can also work for boutique branding and packaging accents when used at larger sizes or with ample tracking, allowing the fine strokes and tall proportions to breathe.
The font reads as refined and intimate, with a light, graceful cadence that feels handwritten rather than formal calligraphy. Its restrained flourish and clean loops give it a modern, understated elegance suited to personal, expressive messaging.
Designed to capture a neat, flowing handwriting feel with subtle elegance—prioritizing a light, airy word image and expressive capitals over dense text durability.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, standing noticeably taller than the lowercase, which sits low with compact bodies and long extenders. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic and look best when treated as display figures rather than for dense tabular settings.
