A delicate cursive script with hairline strokes and an overall rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and the construction relies on smooth, continuous curves with occasional looped entries and exits. Capitals are especially elongated and flourish-prone, while lowercase forms stay small and light, creating a pronounced contrast in proportion between upper- and lowercase. Spacing is open and the rhythm is flowing, giving words a threadlike, handwritten continuity even where letters are not fully connected.
Best suited to display applications where its fine strokes and tall forms can breathe, such as wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and short editorial callouts. It can work for brief phrases and headings, especially when paired with a sturdier serif or sans for body text.
The font conveys a poised, intimate tone—more like fine penmanship than casual marker script. Its light touch and looping forms feel romantic and upscale, suggesting handwritten notes, invitations, and personal correspondence with a polished finish.
Designed to emulate refined handwritten cursive with a fashion-forward, calligraphic sensibility. The emphasis on tall proportions, light stroke presence, and expressive capitals suggests an intent to deliver elegance and personality in short-form typography.
The very slender strokes and compact lowercase make the texture feel whisper-light, while the tall capitals can become prominent focal points in a line of text. Numerals echo the same airy, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and subtle curves that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
