A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and a gently slanted, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay mostly monoline with subtle swelling at curves and terminals, and many glyphs feature extended ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, airy texture. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and several capitals use simple looped constructions rather than heavy flourishes. Overall spacing feels loose and flowing, with a lively baseline bounce that emphasizes the hand-drawn character.
Well suited to short display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, wedding or event collateral, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It performs best when given generous size and line spacing to let the long ascenders and descenders breathe.
The tone is graceful and personable, balancing refinement with a playful, informal charm. Its light, looping forms read as friendly and romantic, lending a soft, boutique feel rather than a strict formal script.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, modern cursive handwriting with a refined, fashion-forward silhouette—prioritizing elegance and flow over dense text readability. Its restrained ornamentation suggests a versatile script meant for contemporary display use.
Uppercase forms are relatively minimalist and narrow, which helps them pair smoothly with the lowercase without dominating. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten in spirit, matching the font’s tall proportions and soft terminals.
