A delicate, monoline cursive with a consistent rightward slant and smooth, continuous stroke flow. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, creating a light, vertical rhythm and ample white space. Strokes stay clean and even with subtle tapering at turns, while terminals often finish in small hooks or soft curves. Capitals are more gestural and open, using single-stroke constructions and occasional looped entries, while lowercase maintains a tidy, handwritten cadence with clear joins and rounded counters.
Works well for short-to-medium phrases where a personal, elegant script is desired—such as invitations, announcements, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and pull quotes. It is particularly effective in larger sizes where the fine strokes and looping details can remain clear.
The overall tone is intimate and graceful, suggesting quick, confident handwriting with a polished finish. Its looping forms and fine line weight give it a romantic, airy character suited to expressive, personal messaging rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to emulate refined, everyday cursive writing with a lightweight, contemporary feel, prioritizing fluid motion and a graceful vertical rhythm for stylish display typography.
The long extenders and compact lowercase can make line spacing feel active, especially where letters like g, j, y, and z dip deeply. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with simple, lightly curved forms that match the script’s rhythm.
