A hairline, pen-like script with a consistent rightward slant and gently tapering stroke endings. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, giving the overall texture a light, vertical rhythm. Joins are mostly implied rather than fully connected, mixing cursive flow with occasional lifted strokes and extended crossbars. Capitals are larger and more gestural, with looping entry strokes and restrained swashes that add contrast against the small, delicate lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its hairline strokes can remain crisp—such as invitations, beauty or lifestyle branding, boutique packaging, and editorial headlines. It also works well for pull quotes or social graphics when given generous size and breathing room.
The font reads as refined and breezy, with a handwritten intimacy that feels personal rather than formal. Its thin strokes and looping gestures create a soft, romantic tone, while the quick, sketchlike construction adds a hint of spontaneity.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, stylish handwriting with a fashion-forward silhouette: tall, narrow proportions, light pen pressure, and expressive capitals that add signature-like character without becoming overly ornate.
Spacing appears open and the light stroke weight makes counters and joins feel fragile at small sizes. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic, favoring simple forms and quick terminals that match the script’s pace.
