A delicate, fast-hand cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a mostly monoline stroke that swells subtly at turns and terminals. Letterforms are compact and tall, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating a high-rise rhythm. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, with looped joins and occasional entry/exit strokes that keep words flowing while preserving distinct shapes. Capitals are larger and more gestural, mixing simple vertical strokes with occasional flourished loops, while numerals remain narrow and lightly written to match the text color.
Well suited to invitations, greeting cards, and event stationery where a personal script is desired. It can also support boutique branding, packaging accents, and short social or editorial pull quotes, especially when paired with a simple sans for body copy.
The overall tone feels intimate and polished—like a neat personal note written with a fine pen. Its light touch and lively slant give it a romantic, boutique sensibility, while the restrained contrast keeps it modern and easygoing rather than formal.
Designed to emulate a graceful, everyday cursive written with a fine pen—prioritizing fluid rhythm, tall proportions, and a light, airy texture for expressive headlines and signature-like settings.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in a handwritten way, with natural variation in widths and join lengths that adds movement across a line. The crossbars and terminals often taper into quick flicks, and several forms (notably in capitals) emphasize tall, elegant verticals that read best at generous sizes.
