A delicate handwritten script with long, narrow proportions and an overall rightward slant. Strokes read as mostly monoline with subtle pressure-like modulation, ending in fine tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishes. The uppercase set is tall and expressive with looped entries, high cross-strokes, and generous ascenders, while the lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, thin joins, and simple single-storey forms. Spacing is open and rhythmically uneven in a natural way, with a mix of lightly connected cursive behavior and occasional separated letters that preserves a hand-drawn cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where the fine strokes and tall forms can be appreciated: invitations, stationery, greetings, boutique branding, and packaging accents. It can also work for headlines or pull quotes when given ample size and breathing room, while dense body copy may lose clarity due to the light stroke weight and compact lowercase.
The tone feels intimate and lightly formal, like neat handwriting in ink—graceful rather than bold. Its tall loops and hairline texture add a whimsical, romantic character that reads as refined but approachable.
Designed to mimic elegant, lightly flourished pen handwriting with a narrow, elongated silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on graceful capitals and a gentle cursive flow that creates distinctive wordmarks and decorative text lines without feeling overly ornate.
Capitals carry much of the personality, with prominent loops and variable flourish that can create strong word-shapes in display settings. Numerals are similarly light and narrow, with simple, handwritten construction that matches the script’s airy texture.
