A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and slim with generous ascenders and descenders, creating a high vertical rhythm and lots of white space. Strokes stay consistently thin while curves and loops provide most of the modulation, with occasional sharp, tapered terminals and brisk cross-strokes that add a brisk, sketch-like energy. The overall spacing is open and uneven in a natural way, and capitals feature large, gestural swashes that stand taller than the lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as logos, boutique branding, invitations, beauty/fashion packaging, and editorial-style headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or social media graphics, especially at larger sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The font reads as refined and personal, balancing understated elegance with a quick, spontaneous handwritten feel. Its looping capitals and airy structure give it a romantic, fashion and editorial tone rather than a casual note-taking one.
Designed to capture an elegant, signature-like handwriting impression with expressive capitals and a light, airy texture. The emphasis appears to be on graceful motion and vertical sophistication, prioritizing style and personality over utilitarian readability in long passages.
Uppercase forms are notably more flamboyant than the lowercase, with oversized loops and extended strokes that can dominate a line. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, with simple, slender forms and subtle curvature that keeps them consistent with the text.
