A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a gently right-leaning rhythm. Strokes feel pen-drawn and mostly monoline, with subtle swelling at curves and terminals that keeps the texture soft rather than rigid. The lowercase is compact with notably short x-height, contrasted by elongated ascenders and descenders that create a light, vertical lacework. Connections are fluid in running text, while some capitals stand more independently, using simple loops and open bowls for an uncluttered silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where its slender texture and looping rhythm can be appreciated—greeting cards, invitations, quote graphics, boutique packaging, and lifestyle branding. It also works well for headings or accent text paired with a sturdy sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, like neat quick handwriting meant to feel friendly and unforced. Its slim, airy construction and long extenders add a touch of grace, making it feel modern-romantic without becoming overly formal.
Designed to capture the charm of quick, elegant handwriting in a clean, consistent digital script. The emphasis on narrow, tall proportions and minimal stroke buildup suggests an intent to stay airy and contemporary while retaining a warm, personal signature feel.
Counters are generally open and shapes stay readable at display sizes, though the thin strokes and tight lowercase proportions may soften at very small sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and occasional looped gestures that keep the set consistent with the letters.
