A hairline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, continuous strokes that favor sweeping entry and exit swashes. Letterforms are tall and slender, with narrow bowls and open counters, and the baseline rhythm stays fluid rather than rigid. Ascenders and capitals are especially extended, often finishing in fine, tapered terminals and occasional looped turns. Lowercase forms are small relative to the overall vertical reach, and spacing feels loose and breathy, letting thin strokes and generous sidebearings do most of the visual work.
Best suited to short display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can remain crisp—wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, and signature-style nameplates. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when set with ample size and comfortable tracking to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, like delicate penmanship or a lightly flourished signature. Its thin lines and soaring capitals give it a formal, romantic feel, while the gentle irregularities and looping joins keep it personal and human.
Likely designed to emulate delicate, fast-moving pen strokes with an emphasis on graceful capitals, long connectors, and a floating, elegant line. The goal appears to be expressive handwriting that feels upscale and personal rather than strictly calligraphic or typographic.
Capitals show the strongest personality, with elongated stems, soft curves, and intermittent cross-strokes that read as calligraphic gestures rather than geometric construction. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, appearing narrow and slightly informal with subtle, drawn-by-hand variation.
