A monoline handwritten script with a right-leaning, flowing rhythm and generous curves. Strokes stay consistently thin with smooth, pen-like terminals and frequent looped joins, producing an open, airy texture. Proportions favor tall ascenders and long descenders, while bowls are narrow and lightly tensioned, giving words a slender silhouette. Capitals are simple but slightly more expressive, with occasional extended entry/exit strokes that add a subtle swashiness without becoming ornate.
Works well for short to medium display text where a personal, elegant handwriting voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, quotes, boutique branding accents, and social media graphics. It is best used at larger sizes or with comfortable tracking to preserve the fine strokes and open counters.
The overall tone is gentle and personal, like neat, careful handwriting on a card or note. Its lightness and looping forms create a soft, romantic feel that reads as friendly and informal rather than formal or authoritative.
Likely designed to emulate refined everyday cursive—light, smooth, and expressive—providing a handwritten signature-like texture that remains clean and legible in display settings.
Letterforms maintain a consistent slant and baseline flow, and the script connection is suggested by continuous strokes and recurring exit strokes in the lowercase. The numerals match the same thin, handwritten treatment and keep the set cohesive for lightweight display use.
