A tall, slender handwritten script with a calligraphic rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are predominantly upright with elongated ascenders and descenders, tight apertures, and frequent looped entries and terminals. Connections appear fluid in running text, while some capitals behave more like standalone drawn forms, adding a lively, hand-rendered cadence. Strokes often taper to fine hairlines and finish with small hooks or curls, giving the outlines a refined, slightly playful texture.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its fine hairlines and compact width can read clearly—such as invitations, greeting cards, cosmetic or lifestyle packaging, boutique branding, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for names, signatures, and menu highlights where an elegant handwritten tone is desired.
The overall tone is graceful and charming, balancing sophistication with a casual hand-drawn sparkle. Its narrow, vertical posture and airy counters feel dressy and expressive rather than utilitarian, suggesting a personal, boutique sensibility.
The design appears intended to provide a formal yet personable handwritten script for display typography, prioritizing slender vertical elegance, expressive loops, and high-contrast calligraphic strokes to add charm and refinement to titles and branded phrases.
Capitals show varied structures and occasional flourish-like cross strokes, creating distinctive word openings. Numerals are similarly narrow and loop-influenced, visually consistent with the lowercase’s curving terminals and high stroke contrast.
