A flowing cursive with a consistent rightward slant and a light, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with generous ascenders/descenders and frequent entry/exit strokes that encourage a connected rhythm. Counters are small and oval, curves are smooth and continuous, and terminals tend to taper into fine hooks or soft points. Capitals are more ornamental, using extended lead-in strokes and occasional loops, while the lowercase maintains an even, quick handwritten cadence. Numerals follow the same narrow, cursive logic with simple, streamlined shapes.
Well-suited to short to medium-length settings where a handwritten signature-like voice is desired, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and pull quotes. It works best at display or larger text sizes where the fine strokes and tight interiors remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, suggesting a personal handwritten note rather than a rigid formal script. Its looping capitals and airy spacing give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the steady rhythm keeps it approachable and contemporary.
The font appears intended to capture a clean, stylish cursive handwriting look with restrained ornamentation—prioritizing smooth connectivity, slender proportions, and elegant capitals for a polished personal tone.
The design relies on diagonal movement and long joining strokes, creating a strong horizontal flow across words. Some letterforms feature distinctive looped descenders (notably in g/y) and tall, slender ascenders that add elegance without heavy ornamentation.
