A slender handwritten script with an airy rhythm and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are tall and condensed with long ascenders and descenders, and a notably small lowercase body relative to the capitals. Strokes taper into fine entry and exit hairlines, with occasional thicker downstrokes that give a calligraphic, pen-drawn texture. Curves are smooth and slightly bouncy, and connections appear selective—many lowercase letters link naturally in words while some shapes remain more individually articulated, creating a lively, variable flow.
This face suits short-to-medium display text where its delicate contrast and looping forms can be appreciated—such as invitations, wedding collateral, greeting cards, boutique branding, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or product names when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to preserve its airy strokes.
The overall tone is elegant yet playful, evoking a modern calligraphy look that feels personal and lightly theatrical. Its looping forms and soft tapers suggest romance and celebration, while the narrow, vertical stance keeps it refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of a fine pen script with contemporary proportions—tall, narrow forms and graceful loops—aimed at expressive display typography rather than dense, continuous reading text.
Capitals are especially tall and expressive, functioning as prominent initial forms in mixed-case settings. Numerals and punctuation follow the same delicate, handwritten contrast, with some figures (notably round forms) showing generous loops that echo the letterforms.
