A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lively, slightly bouncy rhythm. Strokes are generally fine and pen-like, with occasional heavier accents on curves and downstrokes, giving a subtle calligraphic sparkle without feeling formal. Letterforms mix flowing connections with small breaks, and many capitals feature long entry strokes and looping terminals that add height and movement. Counters are open and rounded, spacing feels loose and breathable, and the overall texture stays light even in longer words.
Works best for short to medium display text where its looping capitals and light texture can breathe—wedding or event invitations, greeting cards, boutique logos, packaging accents, and social media graphics. It can also serve as a secondary script for quotes or headings when paired with a simple sans or serif for body copy.
The font reads as friendly and whimsical, with an airy elegance that suggests casual notes, personal letters, and crafty branding. Its tall loops and gentle curves create a romantic, storybook tone rather than a strict or businesslike voice.
Designed to capture an informal, hand-penned feel with expressive capitals and a graceful, elongated silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on charm and personality in display settings rather than compact readability at small sizes.
Capitals are especially expressive, with extended swashes and occasional cross-strokes that can protrude above the cap height and into surrounding space. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, appearing narrow and lightly drawn, better suited to display use than dense tabular settings.
