A hairline handwritten script with an upright stance and a noticeably narrow overall footprint. Strokes are extremely thin and smooth, with gentle, continuous curves and occasional looped entries/exits that create a light cursive flow rather than rigid construction. Proportions are tall and slender, with small counters and a very petite x-height relative to long ascenders and descenders. Terminals tend to taper into fine points, and spacing feels open and breathable, giving words a floating, sketch-like texture.
Best suited for display-length copy where delicacy is an asset: invitations, stationery, greeting cards, short quotes, boutique branding, and lightweight packaging accents. It works particularly well when given generous tracking/leading and plenty of white space, and is less appropriate for dense paragraphs or small UI text where the hairline strokes may recede.
The font reads as soft, intimate, and lightly whimsical—more like careful pen-on-paper notes than a bold statement. Its airy rhythm and looping forms lend a refined, personal tone that feels romantic and slightly vintage without becoming formal calligraphy.
Designed to capture a refined, natural handwriting gesture with a light cursive continuity—prioritizing grace, vertical elegance, and an airy texture over bold contrast or heavy emphasis.
Capital forms are especially tall and linear, often starting with subtle lead-in strokes that echo pen movement. Numerals follow the same thin, narrow logic with simple, legible shapes and minimal ornament, matching the overall understated, hand-drawn character.
