A tall, slender handwritten script with a strongly vertical rhythm and generous ascenders and descenders. Strokes read as hairline with occasional thickened moments, creating a crisp, refined contrast while keeping an overall delicate, pen-drawn feel. Uppercase forms are stylized and display-like, with simplified, elongated constructions and occasional looped or tapered terminals; lowercase letters are compact with small bowls and narrow counters, producing a tight, airy texture. Connections are loose and intermittent rather than fully continuous, and spacing varies slightly, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered cadence.
Best suited to short display text where its tall proportions and delicate strokes can be appreciated—such as logos, boutique branding, invitation suites, beauty/fashion packaging, and poster headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or accent lines when paired with a more neutral text face for longer reading.
The tone is graceful and lightly playful—fashion-forward and romantic, with a hint of vintage charm. Its thin strokes and elongated shapes give it a refined, boutique feel, while the informal joins and quirky letter shapes keep it personable rather than strictly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, hand-lettered script for branding and decorative typography, emphasizing vertical elegance, lightness, and a slightly whimsical, bespoke character.
Numerals follow the same tall, wiry construction, with open curves and minimal weight, so they blend well in display settings but can feel fragile at small sizes. The overall silhouette is consistently narrow and vertical, making it effective for slender wordmarks and stacked compositions.
