A slender, hand-drawn calligraphic text face with pronounced stroke modulation and frequent tapered terminals. Forms are tall and lightly built, with a loose, lively rhythm and subtly irregular widths that keep the texture human rather than mechanical. Curves are narrow and clean, counters are open, and many strokes end in fine points or small flicks, giving the letters a poised, ink-on-paper feel. Numerals and lowercase share the same thin, elegant structure, with occasional looping descenders and gently exaggerated verticals that emphasize a graceful, vertical silhouette.
Best suited for short to medium-length display typography where its thin strokes and calligraphic modulation can be appreciated—headlines, titles, pull quotes, packaging, and invitation-style materials. It also works well for whimsical branding, café menus, and editorial openers when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its light details.
The overall tone feels whimsical and refined at once—like a tidy handwritten note dressed up with calligraphic finesse. Its lightness and airy spacing read as gentle, imaginative, and slightly theatrical, lending a storybook or boutique sensibility without becoming overly ornate.
The letterforms appear intended to capture a formal handwritten look—clean, upright, and elegant—while preserving the spontaneity of a drawn line. The goal seems to be a distinctive, airy display face that feels personal and crafted, offering a refined alternative to connected script styles.
The design relies on contrast and terminal finesse more than heavy ornament, so the character comes through in the stroke endings, narrow proportions, and the slight variability in stroke lengths and letter widths. The texture is intentionally uneven in a hand-made way, which adds charm in display settings but can make long passages feel delicate.
