A slender handwritten script with tall, elongated proportions and pronounced stroke contrast between fine hairlines and thicker downstrokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle, steady rhythm, using narrow counters and long ascenders/descenders to create a vertical, reed-like texture. Capitals feature simple swashes and occasional inline-like crossing strokes, while lowercase forms favor open loops and compact bodies that sit low relative to the overall height. Numerals follow the same light, drawn quality, with curving forms and minimal ornamentation rather than rigid geometry.
This font suits short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and quote graphics where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It will be most effective at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and delicate joins.
The overall tone feels refined and graceful, mixing a poised calligraphic sensibility with playful, casual handwriting quirks. Its long loops and airy spacing give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the slightly irregular joins keep it personable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to capture a stylish, hand-drawn cursive look with a tall, slender structure and tasteful swash-like capitals, prioritizing charm and elegance over dense text economy. Its contrast and looping forms suggest a focus on expressive display typography for decorative applications.
In continuous text, the thin connecting strokes and tight internal spaces emphasize a light, floating color on the page. The tallest forms (such as l, h, k, and several capitals) dominate the silhouette, so the font reads as distinctly vertical and decorative even at moderate sizes.
