A delicate, slanted script with a fine, mostly monoline stroke and lightly tapered terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, giving the alphabet a vertical, wiry silhouette. Curves are drawn with loose, open bowls and frequent looped constructions (notably in capitals and descenders), while joins are intermittent—some letters connect smoothly in words, but others break into separate strokes for a sketch-like rhythm. The overall texture is light and spacious, with generous internal counters and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn continuity.
Well-suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, pull quotes, titles, and signature-style branding. It can also add a handcrafted accent to labels or packaging when used at larger sizes with ample spacing, where its thin strokes and open forms remain clear.
The tone reads intimate and informal, like quick personal handwriting that still aims for polish. Its thin stroke and tall proportions lend an airy elegance, while the occasional uneven joins and looping gestures keep it human and expressive rather than formal or calligraphically rigid.
Likely designed to capture a natural pen-written feel with a refined, lightweight touch—prioritizing graceful movement, tall proportions, and expressive loops for personable display typography.
Capitals are prominent and gestural, often built from large entry strokes and open loops, creating strong word-shape at display sizes. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten logic and sit lightly on the baseline, matching the script’s understated presence.
