A hairline, handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, while the lowercase core stays compact, creating a high-contrast feeling in proportions rather than stroke weight. Strokes are smooth and continuous with occasional extended cross-strokes and looped terminals; capitals are more gestural and open, often built from large oval motions. Overall spacing is light and open, with a lively rhythm that comes from varied stroke lengths and flowing connections.
Best suited to invitations, event collateral, personal stationery, beauty or boutique branding, and short headlines where its delicate strokes and elegant motion can breathe. It works especially well for names, signatures, and title lines; for longer passages, larger sizes and ample line spacing help preserve clarity.
The font conveys a refined, intimate tone—like quick, confident handwriting done with a fine pen. Its thin strokes and elongated forms feel graceful and romantic, with a soft, understated presence rather than bold emphasis.
Designed to emulate fine-pen cursive with a fashion-forward, editorial elegance—prioritizing flowing motion, tall proportions, and graceful swashes for display-oriented typography.
Capitals lean toward decorative, signature-like forms with prominent loops and long horizontal sweeps, which can become a focal point at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same airy, handwritten construction, staying slender and lightly drawn to match the text.
