A slender, right-leaning cursive with a smooth, pen-drawn rhythm and gently tapering terminals. Strokes maintain an overall light presence with subtle contrast, and forms are tall with long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, graceful silhouette. Letter construction favors flowing joins and looped gestures, while counters remain open enough to keep the texture from becoming dense. Capitals are more expressive and slightly swashy, pairing with smaller, delicate lowercase that sits low on the x-height for an airy line.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its tall loops and delicate strokes can breathe—such as invitations, event stationery, greeting cards, or boutique and beauty branding. It can also work as an accent script on packaging, labels, and social graphics when paired with a sturdier companion for body copy.
The tone is graceful and personable—suggesting a handwritten note with a touch of polish. Its looping movement and gentle swashes read as romantic and inviting, while the narrow, tall proportions add a refined, boutique feel.
Designed to emulate a neat, modern handwritten script with a calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing fluid motion, elegant proportions, and expressive capitals for decorative readability in display use.
The alphabet shows consistent slant and stroke behavior, but with natural handwritten variability that adds charm in display settings. Numerals follow the same cursive, lightly calligraphic logic, appearing slender and simple to match the overall texture.
