A slender, calligraphic script with a hand-drawn cadence and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes alternate between fine hairlines and darker downstrokes, with narrow letterforms, tall ascenders, and generous descenders that create a lively vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with frequent looped entries/exits and tapered terminals; spacing is open enough to keep the texture light while still reading as a cohesive script. Capitals are simple but expressive, often built from single flowing strokes with modest flourishes rather than ornate swashes.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a graceful handwritten voice is desired—such as invitations, quotes, product labels, boutique logos, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for headings and subheads in lifestyle or craft-oriented designs when given enough size and leading to showcase the delicate strokes.
The overall tone feels light and personable, combining a refined handwritten elegance with a playful, storybook charm. Its tall, airy forms and looping gestures give it an upbeat, romantic feel without becoming overly formal or rigid.
Designed to evoke an informal calligraphy look: narrow, vertically lively letters with looped terminals and selective contrast that mimic pen movement. The intent appears to balance legibility with charm, offering a distinctive handwritten texture for expressive display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase differ noticeably in structure, with capitals tending toward upright, elongated forms and the lowercase showing more connected, cursive movement. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, with round forms kept open and lightly styled for consistency with the text. The font’s pronounced ascenders/descenders and thin joins suggest it benefits from comfortable line spacing in longer settings.
