A thin, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and long, taperless strokes that feel pen-drawn. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, producing an elegant vertical rhythm and a noticeably small x-height in the lowercase. Terminals are soft and rounded, with frequent loops and occasional entry/exit swashes; curves are smooth and open rather than tightly knotted. Capitals are larger and more ornamental, mixing simple italic caps with more script-like constructions, while numerals are slender and lightly styled to match the line weight.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, wedding stationery, and short display lines where a delicate handwritten feel is desired. It can also work for boutique packaging or brand accents when used at larger sizes with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is light, intimate, and gently formal—more like neat handwritten correspondence than rigid calligraphy. Its looping forms and airy texture read as romantic and refined, with a soft, personable charm.
The design appears intended to mimic a clean, flowing handwriting style with a refined, feminine-leaning elegance. It prioritizes graceful motion and ornamental capitals to add personality in headlines and signature-like text.
Spacing appears comfortable and open, helping the very thin strokes stay legible, while the tall proportions keep words feeling elegant and elongated. Some characters show distinctive looped details (notably in capitals and letters like g, j, y), which adds personality and a handcrafted cadence.
