A delicate, hairline script with a consistent pen-like stroke and gentle contrast created by curvature rather than heavy stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and many capitals feature extended entry strokes and open, looping bowls. The rhythm is flowing and slightly springy, with occasional swash-like terminals, narrow counters, and light joins that keep words feeling continuous without becoming dense. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten construction and maintain the font’s overall light, airy color on the page.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—logos, boutique branding, invitations, packaging accents, pull quotes, and short editorial headlines. It works particularly well as a contrasting script paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The tone is graceful and intimate, combining a refined, signature-like feel with a soft romantic warmth. Its lightness and looping gestures suggest formality and care, while still reading as personal handwriting rather than strict calligraphy.
Designed to emulate refined handwritten signing, emphasizing slender strokes, looping capitals, and a smooth connected flow for a polished, upscale impression in short-form typography.
Capitals are notably expressive and taller than the lowercase, helping create strong word-shape silhouettes in headlines. The lowercase stays compact and understated, which can make short text look elegant but also increases sensitivity to small sizes and low-contrast reproduction.
