A delicate, pen-like script with a consistent, hairline stroke and a steady rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm and generous interior whitespace. Connections are light and occasional rather than continuously joined, with smooth entry/exit strokes and restrained loops in capitals and select lowercase forms. Uppercase shapes are simplified and linear, while lowercase remains compact with a notably small body height relative to the extenders; numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic.
Well-suited to signature-style branding, invitations and announcements, wedding collateral, and short display lines such as quotes or headings. It performs best in larger sizes where the thin strokes and slender counters remain clear, and where its tall rhythm can provide a refined, handwritten accent.
The overall tone feels intimate and polished, like quick, confident handwriting used for a tasteful note or signature. Its light touch and elongated proportions read as graceful and slightly romantic, with a calm, understated sophistication rather than bold expressiveness.
Designed to evoke a clean, contemporary handwriting feel with a signature-like presence—prioritizing lightness, speed, and elegance over heavy texture or dense connectivity. The emphasis on tall proportions and minimal stroke weight suggests an intention for display and personal-tone typography rather than continuous text.
Because the strokes are extremely fine and the forms are narrow, the texture can appear faint at small sizes or in low-contrast settings. The tall extenders and open spacing give words a lively cadence, but the pronounced slant and minimal stroke weight make it most comfortable when allowed some size and breathing room.
