A delicate handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes appear mostly monoline with occasional pressure-like thick–thin moments, and curves are drawn with long, sweeping arcs. Ascenders are notably extended and narrow, while many lowercase forms are compact with small counters, creating a high vertical emphasis. Terminals tend to be tapered or softly pointed, and several capitals and descenders incorporate generous loops and light flourishes that keep the texture open rather than dense.
Best suited for short to medium-length display text where its fine strokes and flourished capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It can also work for brief emphasis in captions or pull quotes when set large enough to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone feels refined yet informal—like quick, stylish pen lettering. Its thin strokes and airy spacing read as gentle and graceful, while the elongated forms and looping capitals add a playful, romantic personality. The result is expressive and personable without becoming heavy or overly ornate.
Designed to evoke modern calligraphic handwriting with an emphasis on height, lightness, and expressive looping gestures. The letterforms prioritize elegance and personal character, aiming for a chic, signature-like look that feels crafted rather than mechanical.
Capitals are especially distinctive, often built from a single continuous gesture with prominent entry/exit strokes, which makes them stand out as display forms. Numerals match the same slender, handwritten construction and maintain the light, open color of the text. The style favors visual charm over strict uniformity, with subtle variations that reinforce a hand-drawn feel.
