A monoline, right-slanted cursive with long, sweeping entry and exit strokes and a distinctly airy rhythm. Letterforms are built from quick, continuous gestures with occasional looped counters and extended ascenders/descenders, creating a lively, handwritten cadence. Terminals are tapered and often finish with slight flicks, while capitals show broader, more flamboyant strokes and open curves that set up an expressive word shape. Numerals follow the same flowing construction, with smooth curves and minimal angularity.
Well suited to branding and boutique logotypes, wedding and event stationery, beauty/fashion packaging, and social media or editorial pull quotes where a personal handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the long strokes and loops can breathe and remain legible.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like a neat signature or a stylish note written with a fine pen. Its energetic slant and generous flourishes give it a chic, romantic feel that reads as modern script rather than formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture the look of a refined, fast handwritten script—signature-like, fluid, and expressive—while maintaining a consistent monoline stroke and a clean, contemporary finish.
Connections between letters are generally implied by consistent joining strokes, but spacing remains open enough to keep words from becoming dense. The dramatic contrast between small lowercase bodies and tall ascenders makes the texture feel light and elevated, with capitals acting as prominent visual anchors in titles.
