A delicate, hairline cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a light, quick stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating strong vertical rhythm. Strokes remain mostly monoline with subtle pressure-like modulation at turns, and many capitals feature extended entry/exit strokes and occasional swashy loops. Spacing is compact and fluid, with a handwritten irregularity that keeps the texture lively while still reading as controlled and intentional.
Best suited to display use where its hairline strokes and swashy capitals can breathe—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product labels, beauty or fashion packaging, and short headline phrases. It works especially well when set with generous tracking or paired with a simple serif/sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like fine penmanship on stationery. Its lightness and narrowness give it an airy, upscale feel, while the looping capitals add a touch of romance and personal warmth.
Designed to evoke refined handwritten correspondence with a modern, minimalist pen stroke. The aim appears to be an expressive yet controlled cursive that functions as a signature accent rather than a workhorse text face.
In running text, the contrast between the tall capitals and the small lowercase height becomes a key stylistic feature, giving words a signature-like silhouette. The figures are slim and slightly cursive to match the script rhythm, and the thins mean it will visually fade at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds.
