A flowing script with tall, slender proportions and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with heavier downstrokes and hairline-like entry/exit strokes that curl into small loops and terminals. Letterforms are upright with gently bouncing baselines and variable widths, combining rounded bowls with narrow joins and occasional teardrop-like counters. Capitals are more decorative and swashy, while lowercase forms stay relatively compact with a short x-height and long, elegant ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to display settings where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated, such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and short headlines. It can work for brief quotes or subheads at comfortable sizes, but the thin hairlines suggest avoiding very small text or low-contrast printing situations.
The overall tone feels charming and conversational, with a lightly vintage, storybook character. Its loops and soft curves add warmth and a touch of romance, while the narrow, high-contrast structure keeps it refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, embellished pen lettering—balancing elegant calligraphic contrast with approachable, whimsical movement. It aims to provide a decorative script voice with expressive capitals and graceful loops that add personality to short-form typography.
Connectivity is script-like but not uniformly continuous—some letters appear to link via thin connectors while others read as selectively joined, enhancing the handwritten authenticity. Numerals mirror the same contrast and curving terminals, helping headings and short numeric details harmonize with the text.
