A tall, fine-lined script with long ascenders and descenders, narrow letterforms, and an overall monoline feel. Strokes are smooth and pen-like with subtle pressure changes, creating occasional thick–thin moments without breaking the airy texture. Capitals are especially elongated and loop-forward, while lowercase forms keep a compact x-height and rely on generous vertical movement for rhythm. Spacing is slightly irregular in a natural way, and connections are suggested through entry/exit strokes, producing a flowing, handwritten line in words.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate forms can breathe—wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and short quotes or headlines. It works particularly well when set with ample tracking/leading and paired with a restrained companion text face for longer copy.
The font reads as light, graceful, and slightly quirky—more poetic than formal. Its thin strokes and looping capitals give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the uneven handwritten cadence keeps it personal and approachable.
Designed to evoke a refined, hand-written signature look with an emphasis on height, loops, and airy stroke color. The goal appears to be a distinctive, elegant script that feels personal and crafted while remaining legible in short, prominent phrases.
In the samples, the most distinctive feature is the dramatic height of capitals and the strong vertical emphasis throughout, which creates an elegant, reed-like texture across a line. The numerals share the same delicate, drawn character, with simple forms and generous curves that match the script’s light touch.
