A tall, slender handwritten script with flowing, lightly drawn strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that suggests a pointed-pen influence. Letterforms are narrow with generous vertical reach, frequent loops in ascenders/descenders, and a lively baseline that subtly wavers like natural handwriting. Connections appear intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving the rhythm a quick, sketch-like cadence while still reading as a cohesive script. Uppercase forms are especially elongated and expressive, often built from single, sweeping strokes with tapered terminals.
Best suited for display settings where its fine strokes and narrow, looping forms can stay crisp—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging, short headlines, pull quotes, and social graphics. It performs particularly well when paired with a simple sans or a restrained serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels refined yet quirky—romantic and airy, with a slightly mischievous, storybook personality. Its thin hairlines and looping shapes create a sense of lightness and intimacy, while the tall proportions add a graceful, fashion-forward elegance.
The design appears intended to capture a polished hand-lettered look: elegant, tall, and expressive, with enough irregularity to feel personal while maintaining consistent proportions for repeatable typographic use.
Capitals function as decorative focal points, with dramatic verticals and occasional inward curls that create distinctive word silhouettes. Numerals match the same narrow, calligraphic logic, with open curves and delicate joins, and punctuation appears minimal and understated in presence.
