A hairline, monoline cursive with a pronounced forward slant and long, looping strokes. Capitals are tall and highly flourished, often built from single continuous curves with generous entry/exit swashes, while the lowercase is small in scale with a very short x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Stroke behavior stays consistently thin with subtle modulation only from curvature, and counters remain open and spacious. Overall spacing feels loose and flowing, producing a light, drifting rhythm across words.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its delicate strokes and expressive capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty/lifestyle packaging, and pull quotes. It works particularly well for name-led layouts or initial caps, and less well for dense passages or small sizes where the very fine strokes may recede.
The tone is graceful and intimate, reading like careful penmanship rather than bold signage. Its thin strokes and sweeping capitals convey a romantic, ceremonial mood, while the quick, wiry lowercase adds a personal, handwritten immediacy.
The font appears intended to emulate refined, looped handwriting with an emphasis on elegant capitals and a light, pen-on-paper feel. It prioritizes gesture and cadence over uniformity, aiming for a graceful signature-like presence in display typography.
The design leans heavily on capital-letter presence: large initial forms can dominate a line and create strong contrast against the compact lowercase. Numerals match the same hairline construction and slanted, handwritten character, keeping the set visually cohesive in running text.
