A delicate handwritten script with tall proportions, slender stems, and pronounced looped forms. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm with sharp hairlines and occasional thicker downstrokes, creating a lively, pen-drawn contrast. Letterforms lean mostly vertical with generous ascenders and descenders, and the spacing feels slightly irregular in a natural way. Capitals are more expressive, featuring entry/exit strokes and occasional flourishes, while lowercase stays relatively simple and readable with rounded bowls and narrow apertures.
Well-suited for invitations, wedding collateral, greeting cards, boutique branding, and short quote settings where a handwritten signature-like voice is desired. It works best in headlines, names, and display lines, and can also serve as a secondary accent face paired with a neutral text font.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, with a light, charming energy that reads as handcrafted rather than strictly formal. Its looping joins and airy texture suggest friendliness and a touch of whimsy, while the clean vertical stance keeps it polished.
Designed to capture a neat, modern handwritten script look with a calligraphic touch—balancing expressive capitals and smooth connections with enough regularity to remain readable in short passages.
In text, the consistent stroke rhythm and smooth curves help maintain flow, though the narrow, tall shapes and fine hairlines can feel delicate at small sizes. Numerals match the script sensibility with simple, open forms and a handwritten cadence.
