A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and generous vertical reach. Strokes read as hairline with noticeable thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, producing a light, calligraphic texture. Curves are loop-driven and fluid, with extended ascenders/descenders and occasional open counters that keep the page color bright. Capitals are simple but expressive, often built from single continuous gestures with understated crossbars and minimal ornament beyond the natural swing of the stroke.
Well-suited for short, expressive lines such as invitations, thank-you cards, packaging accents, and logo wordmarks where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes or in spacious layouts where the fine strokes and looping details can remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, with a breezy, handwritten charm. Its thin strokes and looping rhythm create a romantic, boutique feel that leans more graceful than casual, while still retaining a spontaneous, personal quality.
Designed to emulate a light, contemporary handwritten signature style with calligraphic contrast and a tall, fashion-forward silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on graceful word shapes and a refined personal tone rather than dense text setting.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally irregular in a handwritten way, with narrow forms and frequent vertical emphasis. Several letters incorporate long entry/exit strokes and soft hooks, which adds movement in word shapes but can also make very small sizes look fragile.
