A tall, slender handwritten script with smooth, ink-like strokes and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Forms are narrow and vertical, with pronounced ascenders and descenders and occasional looped terminals that add motion without becoming overly ornate. Stroke contrast is noticeable, with thin joins and thicker downstrokes, and the overall texture stays clean and legible despite the expressive curves. Capitals are especially elongated and decorative, while lowercase maintains a compact, delicate presence with a small x-height.
Best suited for short to medium display settings where its tall proportions and expressive capitals can be appreciated—such as headlines, branding wordmarks, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or product names when generous tracking and line spacing are available.
The font conveys a light, charming personality that feels personal and crafted rather than mechanical. Its narrow, soaring letterforms and subtle flourishes suggest a graceful, slightly whimsical tone suited to friendly, expressive messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate refined hand lettering—narrow, upright, and slightly formal—while staying approachable through soft curves and playful loop details. Its emphasis on elegant capitals and a delicate lowercase suggests a focus on distinctive display typography rather than dense body text.
In text, the vertical emphasis and long extenders create an elegant line silhouette with plenty of white space. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing simple strokes with occasional curved finishes for consistency with the alphabet.
