A slim, right-leaning handwritten script with smooth, continuous stroke flow and an overall monoline feel. Forms are tall and space-efficient, with long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical rhythm and plenty of white space within counters. Terminals are gently tapered and often finish with soft hooks or slight flicks, giving letters a natural pen-drawn momentum. Uppercase characters are simplified and narrow, blending comfortably with lowercase shapes rather than behaving as separate, highly formal caps; figures follow the same light, handwritten construction.
Well suited to logos and wordmarks that need a human, intimate feel, as well as invitations, greeting cards, and boutique packaging. It also works effectively for short headlines, pull quotes, and social media graphics where a lightweight script can add elegance without heavy ornamentation.
The font reads as personal and expressive, balancing a refined, airy delicacy with an informal, conversational ease. Its looping motion and slim proportions lend a romantic, modern calligraphic tone without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, graceful handwritten note—clean and narrow for modern layouts, with enough loops and flourish to feel crafted and expressive in display settings.
Connectivity is suggested through entry and exit strokes, and many letters appear designed to join smoothly in running text, while still remaining legible at display sizes. The set maintains a consistent slant and stroke character across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive handwritten voice.
