A monoline handwritten script with tall, elongated proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Strokes are fine and smooth with rounded terminals, relying on looping bowls and long ascenders/descenders to create a light, floating texture. Letterforms show variable character widths and a loosely consistent slant-free posture, with occasional partial joins and pen-lift moments that keep the writing organic rather than strictly connected. Uppercase forms are larger and more expressive, often built from single continuous strokes with broad loops.
Best suited to short display lines where its delicate strokes and tall loops can breathe—wedding or event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging callouts. It also works well for headlines and name marks when paired with a calm sans or serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone feels airy and personable, like neat, stylized handwriting on a card or note. Its thin line and looping gestures give it a whimsical, romantic softness, while the upright stance keeps it friendly and readable at display sizes.
This font appears designed to capture an elegant, handwritten voice with a fashionably tall silhouette—prioritizing charm and personal expression over rigid uniformity. The expressive uppercase and looping lowercase suggest an intent for decorative, signature-like typography in prominent, spaced settings.
In running text the capitals act as decorative entry points, creating a lively contrast against the small, compact lowercase. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, with simple shapes and occasional looped constructions that match the letter rhythm.
