A slim, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and tall, elongated proportions. Strokes feel lightly tensioned and pen-like, with narrow counters, minimal contrast, and smooth, looping joins that create a continuous rhythm in words. Capitals are larger and more gestural, featuring simple swashes and occasional cross-strokes, while lowercase forms stay compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same airy line weight, leaning and open in construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium phrases where its airy, handwritten character can be appreciated—signatures, invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, and lifestyle branding. It can also work for packaging accents and social graphics when paired with a sturdier text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is graceful and understated, reading as personal and informal rather than formal calligraphy. Its thin strokes and spacious letterforms give it a quiet, refined presence that feels romantic, handwritten, and lightly whimsical.
Designed to emulate a fast, elegant pen script: light on the page, gently expressive, and easy to set in modern, minimal layouts. The emphasis appears to be on a refined handwritten feel with enough consistency to function as a repeatable display style.
Letter spacing and connections create a flowing baseline cadence, with some natural irregularity typical of handwriting. The set balances legibility with expressiveness: lowercase remains simple and quick, while capitals and select letters add flourish without becoming overly ornate.
