A hairline cursive script with tall, slender letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes feel pen-drawn and largely monoline, with subtle pressure contrast showing up in a few turns and terminals. Forms are open and elongated, with long ascenders/descenders and generous entry/exit strokes that create a flowing baseline rhythm. Spacing is loose and the letter widths vary naturally, giving the overall texture a light, drifting cadence rather than a dense word color.
Well-suited to applications where a refined handwritten voice is desirable, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, and short quote treatments. It performs best at larger sizes or in high-contrast printing where its hairline strokes and long flourishes have room to breathe.
The font reads as intimate and graceful, with a breezy sophistication typical of quick, confident handwriting. Its thin strokes and elongated proportions lend it a delicate, upscale tone, while the informal joins and looping gestures keep it personable and relaxed.
Designed to capture the look of fast, elegant pen handwriting—prioritizing fluid motion, airy proportions, and expressive capitals for decorative emphasis. The overall construction suggests a focus on stylish display use rather than compact, small-size text setting.
Uppercase characters are especially expressive, featuring extended swashes and long cross-strokes that can stretch into neighboring space. Lowercase shows small counters and compact bodies relative to the ascenders, with simplified, single-storey forms and occasional lifted joins that preserve a handwritten feel. Numerals are similarly slender and slightly varied, matching the script’s light touch.
