A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and generous vertical proportions. Strokes are hairline-thin with noticeable contrast at curves and terminals, creating a light, airy texture on the page. The alphabet mixes soft loops with long ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm stays consistent while allowing natural variation in width and spacing typical of pen-drawn writing. Counters are generally open and rounded, and terminals often finish in fine, tapered hooks or small curls.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where its thin strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as wedding suites, greeting cards, personal stationery, boutique packaging, and display quotes. It reads most confidently at larger sizes or with increased line spacing, where the fine detailing and looping shapes remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, intimate tone—like neat, careful handwriting meant for a special note. Its light touch and looping forms feel romantic and slightly whimsical, with a graceful, boutique sensibility rather than a bold or casual one.
The design appears intended to mimic elegant, carefully penned cursive: light, tall, and ornamented just enough to feel special while staying legible. It prioritizes a graceful handwritten impression for display applications rather than dense paragraph text.
Capitals are especially tall and decorative, with simple flourishes that stand out in headline settings. The short lowercase body relative to the long ascenders/descenders gives lines a vertical, calligraphic cadence, and the numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic with smooth curves and fine joins.
