A delicate, hairline script with tall, slender proportions and an upright stance. Strokes feel pen-drawn and lightly pressured, with subtle contrast created by occasional thickened downstrokes and tapered entrances/exits. Uppercase letters are narrow and elongated, often featuring looped forms and understated swashes, while lowercase maintains a simple cursive flow with very small counters and a notably low x-height. Spacing and widths vary per glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm rather than mechanical uniformity.
Well-suited to wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a light, elegant handwritten feel is desired. It works best at display sizes for short phrases, names, and headings where the hairline strokes and looped capitals can remain clear.
The overall tone is intimate and refined, like a quick personal note written with a fine-tip pen. Its looping capitals and airy texture lean romantic and whimsical, while the upright posture keeps it from feeling overly casual or messy.
Designed to capture a polished handwritten look with an emphasis on tall, graceful forms and decorative capitals. The intent appears to prioritize elegance and personality over dense text readability, making it most effective as an accent or display script.
The font’s thin strokes and open, linear construction create a lot of white space on the line. Capitals are visually prominent and ornamental compared to the compact lowercase, producing a strong hierarchy in mixed-case settings.
