A delicate monoline script with a steady rightward slant and a lightly calligraphic, pen-written rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and elongated, with tall ascenders and descenders and compact lowercase bodies, producing a refined, vertical emphasis even while italicized. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded turns, occasional entry/exit flicks, and open counters that keep the texture light across words. Uppercase shapes are simplified and loop-led, reading as single-stroke gestures that sit cleanly above the connected lowercase.
Well suited to short-to-medium lines where a personal, elegant voice is desired—such as invitations, stationery, greeting cards, signature-style branding, quotes, and light packaging accents. It works best with generous tracking and line spacing, and is most effective as a display script rather than for dense body copy.
The tone is intimate and graceful, like quick, careful handwriting on a card or note. Its light texture and looping joins give it a soft, romantic character, while the narrow proportions keep it feeling tidy and understated rather than bold or exuberant.
Designed to capture a refined, handwritten cursive look with consistent monoline strokes and smooth connections, prioritizing an airy texture and a graceful, signature-like flow in continuous text.
Connections are generally continuous in lowercase, with joins that vary subtly in length, creating a natural handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same thin, looping logic and align comfortably with the script style, making mixed text feel cohesive.
