A tall, slender script with a fine hairline stroke and occasional pressure-like thickening that gives it a lightly calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous height in capitals and pronounced ascenders/descenders that create an elegant, elongated silhouette. Curves are smooth and looping, terminals are tapered, and spacing feels loose enough to keep the thin strokes from crowding, while overall forms remain consistent and clean.
Best suited for short display text where its hairline strokes and elongated proportions can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It works well for names, headings, and signature-style lines, but will be less effective for dense body copy or very small sizes where the thin strokes may fade.
The font reads as soft and intimate, with a breezy, handwritten charm. Its tall loops and delicate strokes lend a refined, romantic tone, while the informal construction keeps it personable rather than formal or rigid.
Designed to capture a graceful, modern handwritten look with an emphasis on height, loops, and a light touch. The intention appears to be an elegant personal script that adds warmth and sophistication to titles and standout phrases.
Capitals are especially decorative and prominent, helping create strong word-shape contrast between uppercase and the smaller, low x-height lowercase. Numerals follow the same light, looping handwriting style, pairing well with the letterforms in casual display settings.
