A slender, slanted script with smooth, continuous strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from long ascenders and descenders with narrow bowls and compact counters, creating a tall, vertical rhythm. Strokes show a subtle pen-like modulation—more a soft swell than a true broad-nib contrast—while joins and curves stay fluid and consistent. Capitals introduce restrained loops and occasional extended entry/exit strokes, adding a light sense of flourish without becoming ornate.
This style suits short, expressive lines where the flowing movement can read as intentional—wedding and event stationery, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, quote graphics, and social headers. It can also work for brief subheads or signatures when paired with a sturdy text face to support readability.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat handwriting dressed up for a formal note. Its lightness and long, flowing forms give it a romantic, editorial feel, while the controlled shapes keep it polished rather than playful.
The design appears intended to capture a refined cursive handwriting look with elevated proportions—light, tall, and flowing—aimed at adding elegance and personality to display typography.
Lowercase forms lean toward connected writing even when not fully joined, and several letters feature elongated stems that emphasize verticality. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, open shapes and minimal decoration, helping the set feel cohesive across text and display uses.
