A slender handwritten script with an ink-and-pen look, built from fine hairlines and occasional thicker strokes that create a lively, calligraphic contrast. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and many characters use open loops and tapered terminals. The rhythm is slightly bouncy with irregular stroke joins and subtle wobble that reads as hand-drawn rather than geometrically consistent. Uppercase forms are especially elongated and expressive, while lowercase stays compact with a very small x-height and long verticals; numerals are equally light and gestural with simple, open construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, lightweight packaging, and headings where its tall, delicate forms can breathe. It performs well when paired with ample spacing and larger sizes; for long passages or small UI text, the fine strokes and compact lowercase may reduce legibility.
The font conveys a light, intimate tone—elegant but casual—like quick journaling with a pointed pen. Its thin strokes and looping gestures feel airy and playful, lending a wistful, poetic character rather than a formal one.
The design appears intended to capture a refined handwritten voice with expressive, elongated capitals and a quick, personal rhythm, offering a stylish script option that feels handcrafted and contemporary.
Connectivity is suggestive rather than strictly continuous: some letters link with cursive joins while others remain more loosely separated, which adds to the handwritten authenticity. The contrast between expansive capitals and petite lowercase creates a distinctive mixed-scale texture, and the overall color on the page remains bright and open due to the fine stroke weight.
