A slender, monoline cursive with tall ascenders and descenders and a gentle rightward slant. Strokes keep a consistent, hairline weight with softly tapered terminals and frequent loop construction, especially in capitals and long letterforms. The lowercase is compact with small bowls and a notably low x-height, while capitals are narrow, elongated, and often built from single flowing strokes. Overall spacing feels light and open, with a lively baseline rhythm and subtle irregularities that preserve a handwritten character.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, short quotes, headers, and branding accents where a delicate handwritten tone is desired. It works best at display sizes or in spacious layouts that let the fine strokes and tall loops remain clear.
The font reads as lighthearted and intimate, with a graceful, airy presence that feels personal and informal. Its looping capitals and fine strokes evoke a romantic, handwritten note aesthetic while staying clean enough for decorative display.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, contemporary handwritten look with elegant, elongated forms and minimal stroke weight. It prioritizes expressive word shapes and a flowing cursive rhythm over dense text readability.
Capitals tend to be highly vertical and elongated, creating strong word-shape silhouettes and a pronounced contrast between uppercase and lowercase presence. Numerals follow the same thin, cursive logic, leaning toward simple, handwritten forms that match the text’s light texture.
