A delicate cursive script with a monoline, pen-like stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, frequent loops, and occasional extended entry/exit strokes that create a flowing rhythm. Spacing feels open and variable, and the overall texture stays light and refined, with curves doing most of the structural work rather than heavy joins or thickened downstrokes.
Best suited for short, expressive copy where its thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and light, elegant packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when set at larger sizes and given comfortable tracking.
The font reads as gentle and expressive, with a romantic, handwritten charm. Its tall, looping forms and soft movement give it an intimate, personal tone that feels more like a signature or note than a utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended to emulate graceful, modern handwriting with a refined, calligraphic flavor—prioritizing elegance and personality through tall proportions, looping construction, and gentle, continuous motion.
Capitals are especially decorative and prominent, providing a strong contrast in presence against the smaller lowercase. Numerals match the same airy line weight and maintain the script’s slender, graceful character, making the set feel cohesive in display use.
