A delicate, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, continuous strokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase bodies, and generous internal curves that create an open, flowing rhythm. Connections appear natural in running text, with occasional lifted joins that keep counters clear and preserve a lightly articulated handwritten feel. Capitals lean toward simple, looped constructions with modest swashes, while numerals are similarly linear and slightly stylized to match the script texture.
Best suited to applications where a soft, handwritten elegance is desired: invitations, greeting cards, wedding materials, brand signatures, and short quote treatments. It works particularly well at display sizes or for brief lines where its tall rhythm and looping connections can read clearly.
The overall tone feels refined and intimate, balancing casual handwriting with a polished, calligraphic neatness. Its light touch and looping forms suggest a gentle, romantic voice rather than bold informality, making it feel personal without looking messy.
The design appears intended to provide a light, contemporary handwritten script that writes smoothly in connected text while staying restrained and legible. It aims for a graceful, personal look with just enough flourish in capitals and key strokes to add charm without overpowering the words.
Stroke endings are clean and tapered by motion rather than contrast, and spacing stays even enough to maintain readability in short phrases. The sample text shows a steady baseline with subtle bounce, giving the script a lively, human cadence without becoming overly ornate.
