A very slender, right-leaning handwritten italic with an airy, monoline feel and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves and long, calligraphic strokes, with occasional swash-like entry and exit strokes that create a light, flowing rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders and descenders are relatively long, and spacing feels slightly irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way while remaining cohesive across the set.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where its thin strokes and flourishes can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, boutique packaging, and elegant headlines. It can also work for light branding accents when paired with a sturdier text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate—more like a neat, formal note than a rigid script. Its light touch and subtle flourishes lend a poetic, boutique sensibility that reads as personal and tasteful rather than loud or decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the look of careful, calligraphic handwriting in an italic posture—prioritizing elegance, motion, and a personal touch while keeping forms readable and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Capitals show the most personality, with sweeping diagonals and occasional looped details (notably in letters like G and Q), while lowercase maintains a simpler, legible cursive-italic structure without connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same slender, calligraphic logic, with curved bowls and delicate diagonals that match the alphabet’s cadence.
