A slender, hand-drawn cursive with tall, elongated proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes taper into hairline terminals with a calligraphic, pressure-like contrast, while curves stay open and lightly looped. Letterforms show a lively rhythm and variable character widths, with frequent ascending swashes and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest handwriting rather than rigid construction. Numerals and capitals keep the same thin, airy treatment, favoring long stems and soft curves over heavy structure.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its tall loops and delicate contrast can be appreciated—such as logos, boutique branding, invitations, greeting cards, product labels, and social media graphics. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when paired with a simpler text face for readability.
The overall tone is playful and elegant, with a light, breezy personality that feels personal and slightly fanciful. Its looping strokes and tall silhouettes give it a romantic, boutique-like charm—more expressive than formal.
Designed to emulate a refined, feminine-leaning handwritten script with an emphasis on height, airy stroke endings, and expressive loops. The intention appears to be adding personality and a crafted feel to display typography without becoming overly ornate or dense.
Capitals are especially tall and decorative, often featuring extended cross-strokes and gentle flourishes that add visual sparkle in short phrases. The texture stays light on the page, so spacing and size become important for maintaining clarity in longer settings.
