A slender handwritten script with a lightly drawn, pen-like stroke and a distinctly rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and small, compact lowercase bodies that sit low on the line. Strokes show subtle pressure contrast—thin hairlines paired with slightly firmer downstrokes—while terminals taper to fine points. Many capitals feature generous entry strokes and occasional looped construction, and the overall rhythm alternates between tight interior spaces and elongated strokes for an elegant, airy texture.
Best used for short display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—wedding suites, invitations, personal branding, boutique packaging, social graphics, and pull-quote headlines. It pairs well with simple sans or restrained serif companions for body copy and supporting information.
The tone is intimate and graceful, evoking quick personal handwriting refined into a polished signature style. Its lightness and looping swashes give it a romantic, slightly whimsical feel, suited to expressive, human-forward messaging rather than strict formality.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of cursive handwriting while keeping a refined, fashion-forward silhouette. The narrow build, pointed terminals, and selective swashes emphasize elegance and personalization for headline and signature-style applications.
In the samples, spacing and stroke delicacy create a lot of white space, which amplifies the sense of sophistication but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, with open forms and fine terminals that visually match the letters.
