A delicate, monoline cursive with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes behave like a fine pen line—clean and even—with occasional tapered starts and finishes, and generous, open counters in rounded forms. Uppercase letters are large and expressive with looped entries and extended cross-strokes, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably small x-height, rising on long ascenders and dropping into deep, narrow descenders. Overall spacing feels light and a bit lively, with letter widths and joins varying in a natural handwritten rhythm.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where its fine strokes and expressive capitals can stay legible—such as invitations, greetings, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and social media graphics. It also works well as a signature-style accent alongside a sturdier serif or sans for longer copy.
The font reads as intimate and breezy, combining everyday handwriting charm with a lightly refined, boutique feel. Its looping capitals and quick, gestural joins add a playful flourish that can feel romantic or whimsical depending on setting and spacing.
Designed to capture the quick, graceful motion of a pen-written note while still feeling curated and stylish. The exaggerated capitals, compact lowercase, and long ascenders/descenders suggest an emphasis on elegant personalization rather than dense reading comfort.
Connectivity varies across the lowercase, with many letters linking smoothly but some forms standing more independently, reinforcing an authentic hand-drawn cadence. Numerals are simple and linear, matching the script’s thin stroke weight and maintaining the same airy, informal tone.
