A monoline, slanted script with long, looping strokes and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with minimal contrast and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing connections. Capitals are tall and decorative, often formed with large open bowls and sweeping terminals, while lowercase forms stay small and quick with ascending loops and occasional extended descenders. Spacing is slightly irregular in a natural, handwritten way, and the overall texture stays open and uncluttered even in longer words.
Well-suited for invitations, wedding and event materials, boutique branding, packaging accents, and greeting cards where a personal, handwritten tone is desired. It works best at medium-to-large sizes for headlines, names, and short phrases where the flowing connections and tall capitals can be appreciated.
The font feels intimate and refined, like a careful handwritten note or a formal signature with a relaxed touch. Its light, looping movement gives it a romantic, friendly tone without becoming overly ornate, making it read as graceful and approachable.
Designed to emulate a neat, flowing cursive hand with signature-like capitals and smooth connective strokes. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and personality rather than rigid uniformity, aiming for a natural handwritten cadence in display typography.
Numerals follow the same airy, handwritten construction, with rounded shapes and simple, single-stroke styling that pairs well with the letters. Some glyphs show distinctive loops and cross-strokes (notably in letters like f, g, and t), adding personality and a slightly bespoke feel in display use.
