A delicate, pen-like script with a consistent hairline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are loosely connected in running text, with frequent looped entries and exits and occasional extended cross-strokes and swashes that add motion. Proportions are tall and narrow in feel, with small lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that create a high, spacious rhythm. Curves are smooth and open, spacing is generous, and the overall texture stays light and breezy rather than dense.
Well-suited for signature-style marks, invitations, greeting cards, and short display lines where the airy stroke and sweeping connections can shine. It also works for branding accents, packaging callouts, and pull quotes when set with ample tracking and line spacing.
The font reads as intimate and expressive, like quick but controlled handwriting. Its light touch and flowing gestures give it a refined, airy warmth—polished enough for elevated presentations while still feeling informal and human.
Designed to capture a light, fluid handwriting look with an emphasis on graceful movement and tall, elegant proportions. The consistent thin stroke and looping joins suggest an aim toward expressive display use rather than dense, long-form readability.
Caps are especially prominent and gestural, with simplified, calligraphic constructions and occasional flourish-like strokes that can stand out in titles. Numerals match the handwritten flow, favoring simple forms and light curves, and punctuation blends unobtrusively into the line.
