A tall, slender handwritten script with a lightly brush-influenced texture and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms are upright with a gently bouncy baseline, combining narrow proportions with generous vertical reach through long ascenders and descenders. Strokes taper into fine hairlines at terminals, and rounded bowls are kept compact, giving the set a delicate, space-efficient rhythm. The capitals are simplified and loopless in places, pairing clean vertical structure with occasional flourish in entry/exit strokes.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium display settings where a handwritten, elegant impression is desired—such as boutique branding, product packaging, invitations, social graphics, and headline treatments. It can also work for brief pull quotes or subheads when set with ample size and line spacing to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, balancing refinement with a casual, handwritten spontaneity. Its narrow, high-reaching shapes feel airy and stylish, lending a slightly whimsical, modern calligraphic character without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, hand-script look that feels refined yet approachable. Its condensed, tall proportions and tapered brush-like terminals suggest a focus on stylish display typography that can add personality without heavy ornamentation.
Spacing appears tight by default due to the condensed forms, while the contrasting thicks and thin tapers create sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying slim and vertically oriented to match the text color.
