A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a persistent rightward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes feel pen-drawn and continuous, alternating between open curves and quick, tapered joins, with generous internal counters and frequent looped forms. Uppercase letters are simplified and upright in structure but remain fluid, while lowercase shows compact bowls and a notably small x-height compared to long ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same linear rhythm, with rounded forms and light, single-stroke construction.
Well suited to short-to-medium display text where a personal, elegant voice is desired—such as invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, lookbook/editorial headlines, and pull quotes. It works best with ample size and whitespace so the fine strokes and looping joins remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and personal, like a neat, fast note written with a fine pen. Its light touch and elongated rhythm read as graceful and understated, leaning toward romantic and editorial rather than playful or bold.
Designed to capture a polished handwritten signature feel: minimal stroke weight, narrow letterforms, and long extenders that create a graceful vertical rhythm. The intent appears to balance informality with a curated, fashion-forward neatness for expressive display typography.
Spacing appears open and breathing, helping the thin strokes stay legible at display sizes while giving words a lightly scattered, handwritten cadence. The forms keep a consistent gesture across caps, lowercase, and figures, with occasional ornamental loops that add character without becoming heavily decorative.
