A delicate, pen-like script with monoline strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and slim, with an overall rightward slant and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Curves are open and spacious, with frequent looped constructions in capitals and select lowercase letters; joins appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving it a lightly connected, sketch-like flow. Ascenders and descenders run long, and counters remain generous, helping the thin strokes stay legible at moderate sizes.
Well suited to brand marks, boutique packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and short editorial headlines where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for pull quotes or social graphics, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting copy.
The font reads as light, personal, and softly expressive—more like quick, confident handwriting than formal calligraphy. Its looping capitals and relaxed stroke endings add a romantic, slightly whimsical tone without feeling overly decorative.
Likely designed to capture a clean, contemporary handwriting feel—lightweight and elegant—while retaining enough irregularity and looped character to feel human and spontaneous.
Capitals are notably more flamboyant than the lowercase, with oversized loops and entry strokes that can dominate short words or initials. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, with rounded forms and minimal modulation, making them blend naturally with the text.
