A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes feel pen-drawn and slightly calligraphic, with tapered entries and exits and occasional pressure-like thickening on curves. Capitals are generous and often swashy, mixing open oval forms with long, arcing stems. Lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, leaving plenty of ascender and descender length for a graceful vertical rhythm; counters stay open and the overall texture remains light and uncluttered.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its swashy capitals and tall proportions can breathe—such as branding, boutique packaging, invitations, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can work for headings and subheads, while longer paragraphs may require generous tracking and leading to preserve clarity.
The font reads as refined and personal, balancing casual handwriting energy with a polished, boutique feel. Its looping capitals and airy spacing create a romantic, aspirational tone that suits expressive messaging without feeling heavy or formal.
Designed to evoke a stylish handwritten signature look with graceful movement and distinctive capitals. The narrow, tall construction and delicate stroke character prioritize elegance and expressiveness for display-oriented typography.
Connections between letters appear selective rather than fully continuous, which helps keep word shapes crisp at display sizes. Several forms lean on long, sweeping terminals and extended verticals, so line spacing and descender clearance will matter in multi-line settings. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with rounded shapes and smooth curves.
