A delicate, monoline script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, slender proportions. Strokes stay smooth and even, with rounded turns and frequent looped construction in both capitals and lowercase. Letterforms show long ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating lots of white space and a light, floating rhythm. Connections are common in running text, while capitals often feature open, calligraphic entry strokes and restrained swashes that remain clean rather than ornate.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where a light, handwritten elegance is desired—such as invitations, wedding materials, greeting cards, product tags, or signature-style branding. It also works well for pull quotes and headings when paired with a more restrained text face for body copy.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, like neat handwriting with a dressy, formal edge. Its light touch and looping movement feel graceful and slightly romantic, giving text a gentle, personal presence without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic polished cursive penmanship: slender, flowing, and consistent, with enough looping structure to feel authentically handwritten while staying controlled and readable in display sizes.
Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic with simple, legible shapes and minimal embellishment. In longer words, the steady slant and even stroke weight create a continuous flow, while generous ascenders/descenders add a lyrical, elongated cadence.
