A slender handwritten script with tall ascenders, long descenders, and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline rhythm. Strokes are mostly fine and monoline in feel, with occasional swelling at curves and terminals that adds a subtle calligraphic contrast. Letterforms favor open bowls and generous counters, and many glyphs include narrow loops and hooked entry/exit strokes. Capitals are especially tall and gestural, often built from single sweeping strokes that read like drawn initials rather than formal roman caps.
This font works best for short to medium text where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, cover titles, pull quotes, and social graphics. It is particularly effective when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting copy, letting the script carry emphasis and personality.
The overall tone is light, whimsical, and a bit storybook, with an elegant delicacy that feels personal and hand-drawn. Its looping forms and airy spacing give it a friendly, romantic character without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, hand-written look—combining tall, expressive capitals with delicate, loopy lowercase forms for a charming, personal signature-like effect.
Connectivity varies: some lowercase forms suggest joining behavior while others read more like neatly written print-script hybrids, which contributes to an informal, handmade texture. The numeral set echoes the same thin, looped construction, keeping a cohesive voice across letters and figures.
