A delicate cursive script with a calligraphic, pen-drawn look and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders and frequent looped forms that create a lively vertical rhythm. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle forward flow; joins appear intermittently, producing a semi-connected handwriting feel rather than a fully continuous script. Curves are smooth and rounded, terminals often taper, and spacing stays open enough to keep the texture light despite the narrow proportions.
Works best for short to medium bursts of text where its tall, looping rhythm can shine—titles, invitations, packaging accents, and signature-style branding. It’s especially effective when paired with a quiet sans or serif for supporting copy and used with comfortable tracking to preserve its airy texture.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat handwritten notes dressed up with calligraphic flair. Its looping forms and tall silhouettes add a slightly whimsical, romantic character that feels friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic refined everyday handwriting with a touch of calligraphic contrast—expressive enough for display, while still maintaining consistent letter shapes for readable words and phrases.
Capitals show more flourish and height, helping create a clear hierarchy for headlines. Numerals follow the same slim, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional soft curves that match the script’s rhythm.
