A slender, monolinear cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and a tall, willowy vertical rhythm. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with tapered terminals and occasional looped entry/exit strokes, especially in capitals and letters with ascenders/descenders. Uppercase forms are larger and more calligraphic, with simple swells and occasional flourish, while lowercase stays compact with a very low body height and extended ascenders that carry much of the texture. Spacing is open and the joins feel light, giving words a buoyant, floating line even when letters connect.
Best suited to short, expressive settings where a handwritten feel is desired—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, gift tags, boutique packaging, and pull quotes. It works especially well at larger sizes where the fine strokes and looping details remain clear.
The overall tone is gentle and personal, like neat handwritten notes with a touch of refinement. Its thin strokes and looping shapes read as romantic and slightly whimsical, lending a soft, intimate character rather than a bold or utilitarian one.
The font appears designed to capture a polished, contemporary cursive handwriting style with minimal stroke weight and elegant proportions. It prioritizes lightness, flow, and a graceful word shape over strong texture or dense readability in small sizes.
The design relies on vertical elegance—tall ascenders and long descenders create a distinctive silhouette and a lively baseline. Numerals are similarly thin and simple, matching the letterforms with airy, handwritten proportions.
