A tall, hand-drawn script with pronounced thick–thin stroke contrast and a slightly irregular, inked texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with narrow proportions, long ascenders/descenders, and intermittent entry/exit strokes that create a semi-connected rhythm rather than continuous joining. Terminals often taper to fine points or small teardrops, while select capitals and lowercases introduce restrained swashes and looped strokes for emphasis. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, written feel.
This font is well suited to short display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—such as invitations, event materials, boutique branding, packaging labels, and editorial or poster headlines. It performs best at moderate-to-large sizes, where the fine hairlines and decorative terminals remain clear.
The overall tone reads refined yet playful, combining formal calligraphic cues with a light, storybook-like charm. High-contrast strokes and decorative loops lend a sense of romance and vintage personality, while the narrow, vertical stance keeps it poised and elegant.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-rendered calligraphy with a polished, decorative presence, offering a script that feels expressive and personal while still maintaining an upright, composed silhouette for display typography.
Capitals tend to be more decorative, with occasional extended cross-strokes and curled terminals that stand out in headings. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, handwritten logic, with several figures showing distinctive curved spines and tapered ends that match the script’s flourish language.
