A tall, slender handwritten script with a fine, monoline feel and occasional tapered turns. Letterforms are built from long vertical strokes and narrow ovals, with frequent looped entrances/exits and gently swinging curves. Uppercase characters are notably elongated and show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm typical of pen-drawn writing, while lowercase stays compact with small counters and a restrained x-height. Connection behavior varies: many letters suggest cursive joins, but spacing and stroke continuity allow for a lightly separated, handwritten texture in running text.
This font suits short to medium-length display settings where a personal handwritten voice is desired—invites, greeting cards, quote graphics, boutique branding, and light packaging. It works best at larger sizes where the thin strokes and narrow counters remain clear, and where the tall uppercase forms can be used as expressive accents.
The overall tone is light and personal, like quick notes written with a fine pen. Its tall proportions and looping gestures give it a wistful, whimsical character that feels modern, informal, and slightly fashion-forward rather than traditional calligraphy.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, everyday handwriting look—thin-pen simplicity combined with elongated proportions and gentle loops—offering an elegant but informal script for modern display typography.
Stroke terminals often finish with soft hooks or hairline flicks, and several capitals use simplified, single-stroke constructions that emphasize verticality. Numerals follow the same narrow, airy logic, keeping a consistent handwritten cadence alongside the alphabet.
