A delicate, pen-like cursive with a consistently fine stroke and a right-leaning, forward rhythm. Letterforms are tall and slender, with generous ascenders/descenders and frequent looped constructions, especially in capitals. Strokes taper subtly at entries and exits, and many characters finish with long, sweeping terminals that add a swashy silhouette without becoming heavy. Spacing is open and the baseline feel is smooth, giving the set a refined, lightly connected handwritten flow.
Well-suited to short to medium display text where its fine strokes and swashy terminals can remain clear—such as invitations, boutique branding, cosmetic and lifestyle packaging, and social media or editorial pull quotes. It pairs best with simple supporting type and benefits from ample size and whitespace.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a fashion-forward elegance that feels handwritten rather than formal script. Its light touch and elongated forms suggest sophistication and softness, making it feel romantic, modern, and gently expressive.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, contemporary handwritten signature look—prioritizing fluid motion, tall proportions, and elegant loops for expressive display typography rather than dense paragraph reading.
Capitals are prominent and decorative, often built from a single continuous motion with extended curves and loops. Lowercase forms remain compact in the body but rely on tall extenders and long cross-strokes (notably in forms like t) to create visual interest. Numerals follow the same linear, handwritten logic, staying narrow and airy to match text settings.
