A tall, slender handwritten script with a lively rightward slant and a loosely calligraphic rhythm. Strokes frequently taper into hairline entry and exit marks, with occasional heavier downstrokes that create a refined, sketch-pen contrast. Letterforms are open and elongated, with long ascenders and descenders, narrow bowls, and gently irregular curves that preserve a natural hand-drawn cadence. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, giving words a flowing texture without becoming overly dense.
This font is well suited to short display text such as branding marks, boutique packaging, invitations, social graphics, and pull quotes where its tall proportions and fine strokes can be appreciated. It works best with generous tracking and ample line spacing, and is less ideal for small sizes or text-heavy passages where the delicate terminals may visually soften.
The overall tone feels delicate and personable, balancing elegance with an informal, spontaneous charm. Its looping forms and light touch suggest a friendly, romantic sensibility suited to expressive display use.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, modern handwritten look—tall, graceful, and slightly irregular—providing a stylish personal voice for display typography while keeping forms readable and clean.
Capital letters are especially tall and gestural, often featuring extended verticals and subtle flourishes that stand out in headings. Numerals follow the same slender, handwritten construction, maintaining the font’s airy presence in mixed content.
