A delicate, flowing script with tall proportions and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle contrast created by speed-like stroke modulation, and terminals taper cleanly without heavy blobs. Letterforms favor generous loops and long ascenders/descenders, giving the line a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm. Connections appear natural and cursive in the sample text, while the alphabet set shows slightly varied widths and a hand-drawn irregularity that keeps the texture lively rather than geometric.
Well-suited to logos and wordmarks, beauty or lifestyle packaging, invitations, and short display lines where its airy stroke and tall rhythm can breathe. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headers, and social content when set at comfortable sizes and with moderate tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a light, handwritten feel that reads as polished but not overly formal. Its looping joins and slender strokes suggest a romantic, boutique sensibility—more personal note than corporate script—while still maintaining a tidy, composed presence in longer phrases.
This font appears designed to capture a refined modern handwriting look: slim, fluid, and expressive, with decorative capitals and smooth cursive continuity. The goal seems to be an elegant signature-style voice that adds personality and softness to display typography without resorting to heavy ornament.
Capitals are especially expressive, with sweeping entry strokes and elongated curves that stand out as decorative anchors at the start of words. The small figures match the lightweight stroke color and feel understated, supporting text without dominating it.
