A slender, pen-drawn script with tall ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, giving lines of text a vertical, willowy silhouette. Strokes are hairline-thin overall with intermittent thickened turns and pressure-like accents, creating a subtle high-contrast, inked rhythm. Letterforms favor narrow ovals and long, straight-ish stems with occasional looped entries and exits; connections appear in many lowercase sequences, but spacing and joins remain loose enough to read as natural handwriting rather than rigid formal script. Capitals are simplified and elongated, often built from a single continuous motion, while numerals stay similarly thin and upright with modest curves.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its delicate line and tall rhythm can be appreciated—event stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, social graphics, pull quotes, and titling. It works especially well when given generous size and line spacing to preserve clarity and prevent the hairline strokes from filling in.
The font feels light, personal, and slightly eccentric—like quick notes written with a fine nib or brush pen running dry. Its narrow, lofty proportions and looping gestures add a romantic, poetic tone, while the uneven pressure and organic joins keep it informal and human.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, handwritten cursive voice with minimal weight and a tall, narrow stance—prioritizing expressive gesture and a refined, airy texture over dense, text-oriented regularity.
The overall texture is sparse and refined, with lots of white space between strokes; this enhances elegance but can make small sizes feel fragile. The strongest visual identity comes from the long verticals, narrow counters, and occasional flourish-like loops in letters such as g, y, and Q.
