A fine, hairline handwritten script with tall proportions and a narrow, vertical stance. Strokes are predominantly monoline with occasional swelling at curves and terminals, and many letters finish in long, tapering entry/exit strokes that add extra horizontal sweep. Uppercase forms are simplified and calligraphic, often built from single, looping strokes; lowercase mixes semi-connected cursive with a few more separated, print-like structures, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are small, ascenders are prominent, and spacing feels open due to the light stroke and frequent extended terminals.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product packaging accents, and pull quotes. It works well where a refined handwritten feel is desired at medium-to-large sizes, especially in headlines or names where the expressive capitals can shine.
The overall tone is soft and intimate, like a quick, elegant note written with a fine pen. Its looping capitals and elongated strokes give it a dreamy, slightly playful character that reads as personal rather than formal or mechanical.
The font appears intended to capture the charm of a fine-pen cursive with an emphasis on tall elegance and graceful, extended terminals. Its letterforms prioritize personality and flow over uniformity, aiming for a light, decorative handwriting voice for display settings.
The design leans on distinctive uppercase gestures (notably rounded, looped forms) that can dominate a line, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals follow the same hairline construction with simple, handwritten curves, keeping the set cohesive for light, decorative use.
