A delicate, monoline script with a pronounced rightward slant and generous use of loops and entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with a high ascender/descender ratio, creating a lot of vertical movement and white space through the x-height. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth, continuous curves; terminals often taper into fine hairline finishes and occasional long cross-strokes. Spacing is variable and handwriting-like, with a flowing baseline rhythm and a light, open texture in longer text.
Best used at display sizes where the fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as invitations, event materials, packaging accents, and short headings. It also works well for signature-style wordmarks and pull quotes, while extended body text may require larger sizing and looser spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking quick but careful penmanship. Its airy construction and looping forms give it a romantic, slightly formal feel, suited to expressive, personal messaging rather than utilitarian text.
This font appears designed to capture a graceful, pen-written cursive with a fashion-oriented silhouette—thin strokes, tall letterforms, and expressive capitals—to convey sophistication and personal warmth in short-form typography.
Uppercase characters include several swash-like shapes and extended strokes that can dominate a line when set tightly. Numerals follow the same light, cursive logic, reading as handwritten figures rather than rigid lining forms.
