A delicate, monoline handwritten script with a strong rightward slant and very tall ascenders and descenders. Letterforms are built from narrow, elongated strokes with gentle curves and occasional angular turns, creating a wiry, calligraphic rhythm. Spacing is open and irregular in a natural way, and connections appear selectively rather than continuously, giving words a quick, penned flow without heavy joining. Numerals follow the same slim, upright-leaning construction and feel consistent with the alphabet.
This font is well suited to logo wordmarks, boutique packaging, invitations, and short display lines where its tall, elegant silhouette can shine. It works particularly well for quotes, product names, and editorial-style headings when set with generous spacing and ample line height, and it is less appropriate for dense body text.
The overall tone is graceful and personal, like fast notes written with a fine pen. Its slender strokes and towering proportions convey a refined, slightly dramatic elegance that reads as boutique and poetic rather than casual and bouncy.
The design appears intended to capture a chic, handwritten signature feel with a high, elongated profile and a fine-pen texture. Its restrained stroke weight and selective joining aim to balance expressiveness with cleanliness, producing distinctive word shapes for display-driven typography.
Uppercase letters are especially prominent and linear, functioning almost like tall sign-painter capitals that add vertical emphasis in headlines. The lowercase is compact and understated, with small counters and long, trailing terminals that can create lively word shapes. Because the strokes are so fine and the forms so condensed, legibility depends heavily on size and contrast in the layout.
