A tall, slender handwritten script with pronounced stroke contrast and a light, hairline presence through much of the letterforms. Proportions are vertically oriented with narrow set widths and generous ascenders/descenders, while the lowercase remains relatively small compared to capitals. Strokes look pen-drawn with tapered terminals and occasional swelling on downstrokes, producing an uneven, organic rhythm. Connections are selective rather than continuously cursive, and many forms rely on simple loops and soft curves rather than heavy flourishes, keeping the overall texture open and airy.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its fine strokes and narrow proportions can shine—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It can add a refined handwritten accent to headers and logos, especially when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The overall tone is refined and gently playful, combining a delicate calligraphic feel with an informal, handwritten charm. Its thin strokes and tall proportions read as graceful and boutique-like, with a lighthearted, personable warmth rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to emulate a light, pen-written script optimized for stylish display: tall, narrow forms with calligraphic contrast and a relaxed, handcrafted rhythm. It prioritizes personality and elegance over dense readability, making it a decorative voice for branding and titles.
Capitals are especially tall and attention-grabbing, with simplified, elongated structures that create a distinctive vertical cadence in words and headlines. Numerals follow the same slim, high-contrast logic and feel decorative, with some forms leaning toward calligraphic elegance over utilitarian neutrality.
