A delicate cursive script with a fine, mostly monoline stroke and occasional subtle thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are slender and forward-leaning, with long ascenders/descenders and frequent open loops, especially in capitals. The rhythm alternates between tight, upright counters and extended, sweeping entry/exit strokes, giving the line a flowing, calligraphic motion without heavy stroke weight. Lowercase forms sit small relative to the tall extenders, and spacing feels airy, with connections implied by cursive structure more than by continuous joining in every pair.
Well suited to short display copy where its fine strokes and tall swashes can breathe—wedding stationery, boutique and beauty branding, product packaging, and elegant social graphics. It works best when given generous size and spacing to preserve its hairline details and open loops.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat, dressed-up handwriting. Its thin lines and looping swashes create a light, romantic feel, while the controlled slant and consistent movement keep it polished rather than playful or rough.
The design appears intended to evoke refined, contemporary handwritten elegance: a thin, fashion-forward script with expressive capitals and a flowing baseline that prioritizes style and atmosphere over dense text readability.
Capitals are notably expressive, with elongated introductory strokes and generous curves that can dominate at display sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying light and slightly looping, which helps them blend into text rather than standing rigidly apart.
