A slim, right-leaning cursive with long ascenders and descenders and a lively, handwritten rhythm. Strokes move from hairline-thin entries to fuller downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional soft brush-like swelling. Letterforms favor open counters and elongated curves; capitals are tall and gestural with prominent loops and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Lowercase forms are compact with small bowls and a delicate x-height, creating a tall, graceful texture. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, flowing shapes and light, tapered endings.
Well suited to short, prominent text such as logos, product names, wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, and boutique packaging. It also works nicely for pull quotes or headings where the looping capitals and tall proportions have room to breathe; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing will help maintain clarity.
The font feels intimate and refined, like a quick signature or a carefully penned note. Its delicate contrasts and looping capitals lend a romantic, boutique tone, while the clean, uncluttered connections keep it contemporary and approachable.
Designed to emulate stylish, contemporary handwriting with an emphasis on elegant capitals, flowing motion, and a light, graceful color on the page. The overall construction prioritizes expressiveness and signature-like personality over strict geometric regularity.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwritten way, with some letters extending into neighboring space via long strokes (notably in capitals and letters with tall ascenders). The baseline feel is steady, but the stroke endings and joins add a lively, improvised character that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
