A slender, calligraphic script with tall, gently tapered stems and pronounced contrast between thick downstrokes and hairline entry/exit strokes. Letterforms show a rhythmic, slightly bouncy baseline with frequent loops, teardrop terminals, and occasional extended swashes (notably in capitals and long descenders). Counters are compact and the x-height reads modest, giving the overall texture an airy, vertical feel. While many letters suggest cursive construction, connections are not strictly continuous in all contexts, creating a hand-lettered look with controlled, consistent proportions.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and short quote graphics. It can also work for logo wordmarks and headings, particularly when a hand-lettered, refined tone is desired; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a polished, personable elegance—like careful brush or pointed-pen lettering softened by playful loops. Its tall, narrow silhouettes and delicate hairlines feel refined, while the lively terminals and varied stroke endings add charm and approachability. The overall tone sits comfortably between boutique sophistication and friendly, handwritten warmth.
The design appears intended to emulate formal hand lettering with a pointed-pen/brush sensibility: tall, elegant proportions paired with expressive loops and clean, high-contrast strokes. It aims to deliver a refined script flavor while remaining friendly and legible for modern display use.
Capitals are especially decorative, with distinctive entry strokes and occasional flourish-like crossbars, while lowercase forms feature prominent ascenders/descenders that add vertical animation in text. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curvy shapes and light terminals that keep them cohesive with the alphabet.
