A slender, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms are built from long oval bowls and looping joins, with extended ascenders and descenders that create a tall, willowy silhouette. Terminals are softly tapered and often finish with light flicks, while uppercase forms are larger and more gestural, featuring open loops and simple, sweeping entry strokes. Spacing is relatively open for a script, helping the thin strokes stay legible in running text.
Well-suited to applications where a gentle handwritten voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, short quotations, social graphics, and boutique packaging. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes or in high-contrast print/digital settings where the fine strokes can remain crisp.
The overall tone feels graceful and personal, like neat handwritten notes with a touch of refinement. Its lightness and looping rhythm read as friendly and romantic rather than bold or formal, conveying softness and ease.
Designed to mimic smooth, connected handwriting with an emphasis on elegance and effortless flow. The restrained stroke weight and elongated proportions suggest an intention to deliver a refined personal script for display and short-form text.
Capitals carry most of the decorative character, while lowercase remains restrained and readable, producing a calm texture in sentences. Numerals follow the same airy line quality and rounded construction, blending naturally with the script’s movement.
