A tall, delicate script with pronounced verticality and lively stroke modulation. Letterforms show slim main stems paired with hairline entry and exit strokes, creating crisp, high-contrast gestures and an overall light footprint on the page. Curves are narrow and controlled, with looped ascenders/descenders and occasional swash-like terminals that add flourish without overwhelming the rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered cadence while remaining legible in words and lines of text.
Well-suited to short-form display uses such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique logos, product labels, and pull quotes where its delicate contrast and tall letterforms can breathe. It can also work for headings or accent text paired with a simpler companion face, especially when printed at comfortable sizes to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is graceful and slightly playful, evoking a handwritten note with a polished, boutique sensibility. Its thin hairlines and looping details lend an airy, romantic character, while the upright stance keeps it composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to capture a formal handwritten look—calligraphic and elegant—while staying readable in mixed-case words. Its narrow, tall proportions and decorative loops suggest a focus on stylish presentation and a distinctive signature-like presence.
Capitals are especially tall and decorative, often relying on slender vertical strokes and restrained curls for personality. Numerals and punctuation echo the same contrast and light touch, with rounded shapes and fine finishing strokes that feel pen-drawn.
