A fine, monoline handwritten script with a consistent rightward slant and generous use of loops and entry/exit strokes. The forms are tall and slender, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating lots of vertical rhythm and white space. Strokes stay light and clean with subtle, natural-looking modulation at turns; terminals are often tapered and slightly flicked. Uppercase letters are more calligraphic and decorative, while lowercase shows simple, lightly connected cursive behavior with occasional breaks and open counters.
Well-suited for short display settings where delicacy and personality are desired—wedding or event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It performs best at larger sizes or in high-contrast applications where the thin strokes won’t be lost, and where the expressive capitals can be used as focal points.
The overall tone feels light-footed and intimate, like careful pen lettering in a personal note. Its thin strokes and swashy capitals add a refined, slightly whimsical personality without feeling formal or rigid. The irregularities read as human and gentle rather than rough or hurried.
Designed to mimic refined, pen-written cursive with an emphasis on tall proportions, minimal stroke weight, and expressive swashes in the uppercase. The intent appears to be a graceful, handwritten look that prioritizes charm and elegance over utilitarian text readability.
Capitals provide the strongest stylistic signature, with prominent loops (notably in rounded letters) and elongated, airy constructions that can dominate at small sizes. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic and appear best when given breathing room. Spacing and joins look intentionally loose, favoring an elegant, drawn line over dense texture.
