A monoline, hairline script with a pronounced rightward slant and generous vertical reach. Letterforms are slender and open, with long ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that gives lowercase a light, floating rhythm. Strokes stay smooth and even, with minimal contrast and frequent looped entries/exits; joins are fluid but not overly tight, so words keep a breathable texture. Uppercase forms are tall and gestural, often with extended cross-strokes and sweeping curves that read like quick pen movements.
Well-suited for short display lines such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and social media graphics where a personal handwritten feel is desirable. It can also work for signatures, quotes, and headings, especially when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading to preserve its fine, airy rhythm.
The overall tone feels personal and airy, like neat handwriting used for invitations or notes. Its delicacy and tall, looping movement suggest elegance without formality, leaning more toward relaxed sophistication than strict calligraphy.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, refined pen handwriting: light, flowing, and expressive, with graceful loops and tall proportions that add charm in headline and accent roles.
Spacing and connections create a lively cadence, with occasional long horizontal strokes and high-placed crossbars that add flair in display settings. Because the lowercase is small relative to the capitals and extenders, the font’s personality comes through most strongly when given enough size and line spacing.
