A tall, slender cursive hand with dramatic stroke contrast: fine hairlines pair with occasional heavier downstrokes that feel brush-drawn. Letterforms are upright with long ascenders and descenders, narrow internal counters, and a slightly irregular, human rhythm. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, with many letters ending in tapered entry/exit strokes and light swashes. Capitals are especially elongated and gestural, while the lowercase stays compact and narrow with small bowls and tight spacing tendencies.
Best suited to display settings such as brand marks, beauty or lifestyle packaging, invitations, and short headlines where its tall, delicate construction can shine. It can work for pull quotes and social graphics, but will be less comfortable for dense paragraphs or very small sizes due to its fine hairlines and narrow proportions.
The font conveys a refined, boutique feel with a playful, handwritten charm. Its airy strokes and elongated forms suggest sophistication and lightness, while the casual joins and varied pressure add a personal, journal-like warmth.
The design appears intended to emulate modern brush-pen calligraphy in a polished, editorial way—prioritizing graceful verticality, crisp contrast, and expressive capitals for attention-getting titles and signature-style text.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing thin curves with heavier verticals, and several characters show decorative terminals that can create lively texture in headings. The overall color on the page is light, so it reads best when allowed generous size and breathing room.
