A delicate, monoline handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a relaxed, slightly irregular baseline rhythm. Strokes are clean and smooth with occasional looped entries/exits and narrow joins that suggest quick pen movement rather than constructed geometry. Ascenders and descenders are notably long, giving the face a vertical, willowy silhouette, while counters stay open and lightly enclosed. Letterforms alternate between simple, single-stroke structures and more decorative looped shapes, creating a natural handwritten texture across words and sentences.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where an elegant handwritten feel is desired: invitations, greeting cards, personal stationery, boutique branding, and packaging accents. It also works nicely for pull quotes and headings when paired with a sturdier text face for supporting copy.
The overall tone is airy and personal, leaning toward elegant and poetic rather than casual or loud. Its thin strokes and elongated forms convey a light, refined mood with a hint of whimsy, like neat journaling or a handwritten note meant to feel special.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, modern handwritten script—light in color, tall in proportion, and expressive in capitals—while maintaining enough simplicity in the lowercase to stay readable in typical display sizes.
Capital forms are tall and expressive, often using extended vertical strokes and occasional flourished loops that stand out at the start of words. Spacing appears relatively loose for a script, and connections between letters are selective, so words read as a flowing handwriting style without requiring continuous joining at every character.
