A slender, hand-drawn script with tall proportions and pronounced contrast created by tapered, brush-like strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle, organic wobble, showing visible stroke modulation and fine hairline terminals. Capitals are narrow and decorative, mixing simple vertical structures with occasional loops and swashes, while lowercase forms use compact bowls and long, looping ascenders/descenders. Spacing feels variable and handwritten, with a light rhythm and occasional sharp joins that give the texture a slightly scratchy, pen-and-ink character.
Best suited to display applications such as invitations, greeting cards, beauty/fashion branding, boutique packaging, social graphics, and short quotes. It works particularly well when given generous size and whitespace so the fine terminals and contrast can remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone is refined and contemporary, with a delicate boutique feel. Its thin hairlines and tall, elegant silhouettes suggest a stylish, personal voice—more like modern calligraphy than casual marker handwriting.
The design appears intended to emulate modern hand-lettered calligraphy—combining narrow, elongated proportions with delicate hairlines and subtle swashes to create an upscale, personalized look for display typography.
The font’s thin connecting strokes and narrow internal counters create a bright, open page color at larger sizes, while the high-contrast details can become fragile in small settings. Numerals follow the same tall, minimal style, with simple forms and occasional curved entry/exit strokes that match the script rhythm.
