A delicate handwritten script with smooth, calligraphic curves and a predominantly monoline feel that occasionally swells into slightly thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm across words. Connections are present in the running text, but the joins are light and intermittent, preserving clear letter separation. Terminals often finish in small hooks, teardrops, or soft curls, and several caps use decorative entry strokes and subtle looped structures.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall, graceful strokes and playful loops can be appreciated—such as brand marks, product labels, boutique packaging, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also work for quotes or headings when given comfortable size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is lighthearted and refined at the same time—like neat pen lettering with a touch of whimsy. Its tall proportions and gentle flourishes lend a romantic, boutique feel, while the open counters and relaxed joins keep it approachable rather than formal or strict.
The design appears intended to capture a polished hand-lettered look: elegant and feminine-leaning, with decorative capitals and gentle flourishes that add personality without overwhelming the text. Its slim, airy construction suggests a focus on stylish display use rather than dense body copy.
Capitals are especially expressive, with simple swash-like openings on letters such as S, Q, and W that stand out in headlines. Lowercase shows a lively baseline bounce and narrow internal spacing that benefits from a bit of tracking in longer lines. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic, staying understated and consistent with the letterforms.
