A tall, slender script with a pronounced vertical rhythm and airy internal counters. Strokes alternate between hairline connectors and thicker downstrokes, creating a calligraphic contrast that stays consistent across the alphabet. Letterforms are mostly upright with long ascenders and descenders, frequent loops (notably in capitals and in letters like g, j, y), and occasional entry/exit swashes that keep words feeling lightly connected rather than tightly cursive. Spacing is open for a script, and the overall texture is clean and uncluttered, with small, neat dots on i/j and a simple, readable set of numerals.
Well-suited for wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for short headlines, quotes, and product packaging accents, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the thin connectors and loops remain clear.
The tone feels graceful and handcrafted, balancing formality with a playful, slightly storybook charm. Its tall proportions and light touch give it a poised, boutique quality, while the bouncy curves and loops keep it friendly and personable rather than strict.
The design appears intended to emulate a neat, modern calligraphic hand—tall, elegant, and lightly connected—providing a distinctive signature-like look for display typography without becoming overly ornate.
Capitals are especially decorative and narrow, often using elongated stems and subtle flourish-like terminals that can stand out in titles. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with many near-vertical strokes, helping legibility despite the delicate connectors.
