A delicate, handwritten calligraphic face with hairline strokes and a lightly modulated contrast that reads like pen-drawn outlines. Letterforms are narrow and tall with long ascenders and descenders, and a notably small x-height that gives the lowercase an elegant, vertical rhythm. Curves are soft and slightly irregular, with subtle hooks, tapered terminals, and occasional looped joins (notably in letters like g, y, and z). Spacing is open and the counters are generous, helping the thin strokes stay legible despite the airy construction.
This font works best for short to medium-length settings where a fine, handwritten presence is desired—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, chapter headings, and display lines in editorial or book design. Its thin strokes and tall proportions favor larger sizes and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is gentle and whimsical, balancing a refined, formal gesture with an approachable hand-made charm. It suggests a quiet, lyrical mood—more poetic than authoritative—well suited to light, imaginative messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke a pen-drawn calligraphic hand with a light touch—prioritizing elegance and charm over strict regularity. Its narrow, vertical posture and looped details aim to create a graceful, storybook-like texture in display typography.
Capitals are simple and upright with a lightly decorative flair, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through looping descenders and varied terminal shapes. Numerals follow the same slender, slightly playful construction, matching the text color without appearing rigid or mechanical.
