A fine, pen-like handwritten script with tall, slender letterforms and an overall rightward slant. Strokes stay predominantly monolinear with occasional pressure-like emphasis on a few verticals and crossings, giving a subtle calligraphic sparkle without becoming bold. Counters are open and narrow, curves are long and smooth, and many forms rely on extended stems and loops rather than broad bowls. Connections in running text are intermittent, creating a lively rhythm with slightly varied spacing and a natural handwritten cadence.
Well suited to short display text where its tall, delicate rhythm can be appreciated—wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, social graphics, and quote treatments. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes and with generous line spacing to accommodate its long ascenders and descenders.
The font feels intimate and lightly theatrical—like quick, confident notes written with a sharp ink pen. Its narrow, airy forms read as refined and expressive, with a gentle whimsy that suits personal, poetic, or boutique-facing communication.
Likely designed to capture a fashionably minimal, ink-pen handwriting look: narrow, elegant forms with expressive capitals and a lightly variable rhythm that reads as personal rather than mechanical. The emphasis appears to be on graceful motion and signature-like presence in headlines and short phrases.
Capitals are especially tall and gesture-driven, often built from single continuous strokes with prominent loops and high crossbars. Lowercase features small bodies with pronounced ascenders/descenders, which can add charm but also increases vertical activity in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same lean, linear construction and keep a consistent, handwritten tone.
