A narrow, slightly slanted calligraphic hand with smooth, rounded strokes and modest stroke modulation. Letterforms feature frequent curls, loops, and teardrop-like terminals, giving many caps distinctive swashed entry and exit strokes. The lowercase uses simple, handwritten constructions (notably single-storey a and g) with a short x-height and relatively tall ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, lyrical silhouette. Spacing feels compact and rhythmic, with a gently uneven, humanized cadence across characters and figures.
Well suited to display settings where personality is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging labels, and short headlines. It performs best at moderate to large sizes, where the curled terminals and looping forms can remain clear without crowding.
The overall tone is light, decorative, and storybook-like—more charming than formal. Its curled terminals and buoyant rhythm evoke vintage stationery and handcrafted signage, with a friendly personality that reads as whimsical and inviting.
Designed to provide a decorative handwritten voice with calligraphic flair, balancing readability with playful swashes. The intent appears to be a compact, expressive script-like roman for charming display typography rather than dense text composition.
Capitals are especially ornate compared to the lowercase, with prominent loops that can become visual focal points in words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, leaning on curved strokes and soft terminals for continuity with the alphabet.
