A slender, handwritten script with a light, airy rhythm and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes appear mostly smooth and pen-like, with a subtle calligraphic contrast and occasional thickened downstrokes, while terminals stay rounded and informal. Letterforms favor long ascenders/descenders, generous loops, and softly curved joins; capitals are simplified but expressive, often built from a single flowing gesture. Spacing reads moderately open for a script, helping individual words remain legible despite the narrow set and compact lowercase height.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and pull quotes. It performs best at display and subhead sizes where the loops and narrow rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is casual and charming, with a bouncy, personable energy that feels like neat handwriting dressed up for invitations. Its looping forms and gentle contrast give it a lightly romantic, boutique feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, modern handwriting with an elegant lift—combining narrow, elongated forms with looping joins to create a distinctive, personable script for lifestyle-oriented display typography.
Capitals stand tall and slightly elastic, creating a lively headline texture, while lowercase forms keep consistent motion and a steady forward flow. Numerals are simple and handwritten in spirit, matching the narrow proportions and light stroke presence of the letters.
