A delicate, monoline cursive script with a consistent rightward slant and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders/descenders, small interior counters, and simplified joins that often connect in running text. Terminals are softly tapered and frequently looped, with occasional long entry/exit strokes that add sweep without becoming overly flourished. Capitals are more expressive and open, while lowercase maintains a steady, flowing baseline and compact x-height impression.
Well-suited for short to medium-length settings where a personal, handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, social posts, and pull quotes. It works best at display sizes or in roomy layouts where the fine strokes and compact lowercase can remain clear.
The overall tone is light and intimate, evoking quick personal handwriting with a polished, graceful finish. It feels friendly and understated rather than formal, with a romantic, airy elegance that suits gentle messaging and lifestyle aesthetics.
Designed to capture the look of neat, flowing penmanship: slender strokes, continuous motion, and modest loops that read as authentic handwriting while remaining orderly and consistent for typographic use.
The script shows consistent spacing and stroke behavior across the alphabet, with some intentional irregularity that preserves a natural handwritten feel. Numerals and uppercase forms follow the same flowing construction, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
