A fine, monoline handwritten script with tall, narrow proportions and generous vertical extenders. Strokes stay consistently hairline with subtle pressure-like changes at curves, and terminals are tapered, often finishing in small hooks or soft curls. Letterforms are built from open, rounded bowls and narrow loops, with occasional cross-strokes (notably on t and f) that read like quick pen lifts. Spacing is loose and flowing, creating a light, floaty rhythm rather than a tightly connected texture.
This font suits short-to-medium lines where an elegant handwritten feel is desirable—wedding and event stationery, greeting cards, quote graphics, and lifestyle branding accents. It works well for headings, names, and highlight phrases, especially when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat penmanship written with a light touch. Its looping forms and elongated ascenders/descenders give it a poetic, slightly whimsical character that feels personal and friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate refined everyday cursive: light, legible, and decorative without heavy flourish. It prioritizes a gentle, personal tone and a continuous handwritten rhythm that complements romantic and boutique-oriented typography.
Uppercase letters are especially tall and decorative, leaning on long vertical strokes and spacious counters, while lowercase forms keep a consistent, calligraphic thread with clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals match the same hairline construction and maintain a handwritten cadence, making mixed text feel cohesive.
