A delicate, handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and a fine, pen-like stroke. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and a noticeably small x-height that makes lowercase feel wiry and vertical. Curves are open and lightly looped, with occasional extended entry/exit strokes and thin cross-strokes that lend a sketch-like rhythm. Overall spacing is compact, and connections appear intermittent—more implied by flow than by fully continuous joining—creating a lively, variable handwritten texture across words and numerals.
Works best for short to medium-length text where personality matters: signatures, display headlines, invitations, quote graphics, and boutique packaging. It’s particularly effective when set with generous tracking or paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The font conveys a personal, spontaneous note-taking feel with a refined, fashion-forward elegance. Its airy line quality reads gentle and expressive rather than formal, with just enough flourish to feel romantic and slightly whimsical.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, stylish handwriting with an emphasis on height, elegance, and effortless motion. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a light footprint over dense texture, aiming for a refined casual voice suitable for display use.
Capitals are especially tall and gestural, often defined by single-stroke constructions and sweeping curves, which can make them stand out strongly in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic with simple, narrow silhouettes that suit the overall restrained texture.
