A slender, monoline script with a consistent rightward slant and long, looping ascenders and descenders. Forms are built from smooth, continuous curves with small entry/exit hooks, giving the alphabet a lightly embellished, handwritten regularity. Uppercase letters are tall and often feature restrained swashes and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a compact body with prominent extenders that carry much of the personality. Numerals follow the same narrow, curving construction, with simple terminals and occasional looped details that keep them cohesive with the letters.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate stroke and looping extenders can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and short editorial headlines. It can work for brief phrases or pull quotes, but extended body text will require ample size and leading for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a romantic, old-fashioned charm. Its fine strokes and gentle loops feel personal and decorative without becoming overly ornate, suggesting a polished hand-lettered look suited to soft, cultured messaging.
Designed to evoke a refined hand-written calligraphic voice with a light, modern consistency. The narrow stance and controlled swashes aim to deliver elegance in compact layouts while preserving a personal, signature-like feel.
Spacing appears intentionally generous for such narrow forms, helping prevent the tall extenders from feeling cramped in text. The most distinctive character comes from the elongated vertical rhythm and the repeated loop motifs in capitals and key lowercase letters, which read cleanly at larger sizes and become more fragile as size decreases.
