A slanted, monoline cursive with smooth, continuous strokes and generous looped forms. Letterforms are tall and compact, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm. Terminals are softly tapered with subtle entry/exit strokes, and many capitals feature restrained swashes and open counters. Spacing is tight and the joins feel pen-driven, giving the alphabet a consistent handwritten cadence while maintaining clear silhouettes in both letters and numerals.
Well-suited to short-form display settings such as wedding materials, boutique branding, product packaging, and pull quotes where a handwritten signature style is desirable. It works best at medium to large sizes where the loops, joins, and delicate terminals remain distinct, and where ample line spacing can accommodate descenders.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, combining a polished signature feel with a slightly old-fashioned charm. Its flowing loops and gentle curves convey warmth and sentiment, reading as decorative without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate neat, pen-written cursive with a refined, presentational finish—aiming for a cohesive script texture that feels personal and elegant while still reading cleanly in names, headings, and small phrases.
Capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, with larger loops and occasional flourish that can dominate at smaller sizes. The numerals echo the same cursive movement, leaning and curving in a way that matches the script texture rather than a rigid lining set.
