A delicate cursive script built from hairline strokes with a consistent rightward slant and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are tall and slim with generous ascenders and descenders, and many capitals use long, sweeping entry strokes and open looped construction. Curves are smooth and continuous, with minimal visible pressure modulation, giving the set a clean, pen-drawn feel rather than a brushy texture. Spacing is loose and the connections between lowercase letters are gentle and intermittent, keeping words flowing without becoming dense.
This face suits short-to-medium display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can stay crisp: invitations, stationery, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It works best at larger sizes and in layouts with ample whitespace, where the long capitals and descenders have room to breathe.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, leaning toward romantic and boutique styling. Its thin strokes and elongated forms feel airy and expressive, with a slightly whimsical flourish in the capitals and long extenders. The impression is polished but still personal, like careful signature writing.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant handwritten script with signature-like capitals and a light, refined texture. It balances readability with flourish by keeping lowercase forms relatively simple while letting the uppercase set carry most of the ornament.
Uppercase forms are especially decorative, often using extended crossbars or lead-in swashes that create a strong horizontal sweep. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, staying simple and legible while matching the script’s slender proportions.
