A delicate, monoline cursive with tall, slender proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes are consistently fine with smooth, pen-drawn curves, frequent loops, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that suggest a lightly connected handwriting rhythm. Capitals are prominent and highly gestural, often built from single continuous strokes, while lowercase forms stay narrow with small counters and minimal x-height, creating an airy texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same thin, flowing construction, keeping the overall color light and open on the line.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its thin strokes and looping capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty/lifestyle packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work as a signature-style accent paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The font feels intimate and whimsical, like a neat personal note written with a fine pen. Its looping forms and high ascenders add a romantic, storybook tone, while the restrained stroke weight keeps it calm and elegant rather than bold or showy.
Designed to capture refined, fine-pen handwriting with a light touch and expressive loops. The emphasis on tall ascenders, graceful capitals, and a soft connecting rhythm suggests an intent to convey elegance and personality in decorative settings.
Letterforms show a gentle, hand-drawn irregularity in curves and joins that reads as intentionally human. The script alternates between fully connected segments and subtle breaks, and the pronounced capitals can take visual lead in headings or short phrases.
