A delicate, pen-written cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapering entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are built from fine, high-contrast hairlines with occasional slightly heavier pressure points, giving the writing a lightly calligraphic texture. Ascenders are tall and prominent, while lowercase bodies stay small, creating an airy vertical rhythm and a sense of spaciousness between lines. Many capitals introduce generous loops and restrained swashes, and the overall spacing feels loose and handwritten rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its fine strokes and tall ascenders can be appreciated: invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and social media graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and lightweight headlines when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The font reads as intimate and graceful, like a quick personal note written with a fine-tip pen. Its lightness and looping capitals add a romantic, boutique tone, while the narrow, fast cursive rhythm keeps it feeling contemporary rather than formal or traditional.
Likely designed to emulate quick, elegant handwriting with minimal ornamentation in the lowercase and more expressive, looped capitals for emphasis. The goal appears to be a personal, upscale script that feels natural and spontaneous while remaining consistent enough for polished display typography.
Uppercase forms lean on single-stroke construction with open counters and occasional exaggerated loops (notably in rounded letters), which becomes a defining visual signature in running text. Numerals are simple and lightly drawn, matching the script’s thin, flowing stroke behavior and maintaining the same right-leaning momentum.
