A delicate, pen-drawn script with tall proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes stay extremely thin with a crisp, high-contrast feel, and curves are smooth and elliptical with frequent loops in ascenders and descenders. The rhythm is slightly irregular in a natural handwritten way, with open counters, light entry/exit strokes, and occasional swash-like terminals; capitals are larger and more flourish-forward than the lowercase. Numerals are similarly light and rounded, matching the overall flowing, drawn-line character.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, and short display phrases where its delicate strokes and looping forms can breathe. It can add a handcrafted, upscale touch to boutique branding, beauty/lifestyle packaging, and editorial pull quotes, especially when set with ample spacing and supportive contrast from a simpler companion face.
The tone reads refined yet personal—like a quick, graceful note written with a fine nib. Its airy thinness and looping forms add a romantic, whimsical character that feels gentle rather than bold or assertive.
Likely designed to capture the look of fine-pen handwriting—light, tall, and decorative—prioritizing graceful loops and a flowing rhythm for expressive display typography.
Connectivity varies: many lowercase letters suggest cursive joining behavior, while some forms appear more individually drawn, contributing to an informal, handcrafted cadence. The very small x-height and long extenders emphasize elegance, but also make fine details more prominent at larger sizes.
