A slender handwritten script with hairline strokes and generous interior whitespace. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with elongated ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height that gives the lowercase a petite, lifted feel. Curves are smooth and looping, with occasional light entry/exit strokes that suggest a continuous pen movement, while connections remain selective rather than strictly fully joined. Capitals are simplified and elegant, often built from long single strokes and soft ovals, creating a consistent, airy rhythm across words and numerals.
Best suited to display and short-form settings where its fine strokes and elegant loops can be appreciated—such as wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, boutique/beauty branding, and social graphics. It also works well for pull quotes and headings when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, like neat personal handwriting in a fine pen. Its light touch and extended vertical proportions feel graceful and slightly romantic, with a calm, understated presence rather than bold expressiveness.
The font appears designed to capture a polished, handwritten signature-like look with minimal stroke weight and a tall, graceful silhouette. Its emphasis on loops, long verticals, and a small x-height suggests an intent to feel elegant and personal while remaining legible in headline use.
The design relies on subtle stroke modulation and open counters for clarity, but the very thin lines and compact lowercase can make small sizes feel faint. Spacing and joins read naturally in words, with distinctive looped forms in letters like g, y, and z contributing to a flowing, decorative cadence.
