A tall, handwritten script with lively, looped construction and a gently irregular rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior, often thickening on verticals and narrowing through curves, creating a crisp calligraphic sparkle. Letterforms are slender and vertically oriented with long ascenders and descenders, small counters, and rounded turns; terminals frequently finish in small hooks or tapered flicks. Connections appear in many lowercase sequences, while capitals are more standalone and decorative, giving the overall texture a light, airy color despite the contrast.
Works best for short to medium display settings where its contrast and delicate joins can be appreciated: invitations, greeting cards, social graphics, product labels, and brand marks with a handmade voice. It can also suit pull quotes and headings, especially when given generous spacing and used at larger sizes for clarity.
The tone is upbeat and personable, like neat hand lettering for invitations or boutique packaging. Its looping forms and springy proportions read as playful and slightly romantic, with an informal charm rather than strict formality.
Designed to mimic refined, everyday hand lettering with a calligraphic edge—balancing legibility with expressive loops and tall proportions to create a distinctive, friendly signature-like presence.
Capitals feature distinctive entry/exit strokes and occasional crossbar-like swashes that add personality in headings. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic and keep the set cohesive, with simple forms and curved, open shapes that echo the lowercase movement.
