A slender, pen-drawn cursive with a calligraphic feel, built from tall ascenders and long descenders that create a narrow, vertical rhythm. Strokes show sharp contrast between hairline connectors and thicker downstrokes, with pointed terminals and occasional sweeping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are loosely connected in words, with varied character widths and a slightly irregular, handwritten cadence; counters are small and the x-height sits low relative to the ascenders, giving the design a lanky silhouette.
Best suited to short, expressive settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and display headlines in social or editorial graphics. It performs well where a personal, handwritten signature tone is desired and where generous spacing and larger sizes can preserve the fine stroke detail.
The font reads as light, refined, and gently playful—like quick, stylish handwriting with a bit of drama in the loops and flourishes. Its tall proportions and crisp stroke endings lend a boutique, romantic tone, while the informal joins keep it personal and approachable.
The design appears intended to capture an elegant, fashion-forward handwriting look—combining calligraphic contrast with informal cursive connections and tall, eye-catching capitals. Its proportions prioritize grace and vertical flow over compact text readability, emphasizing personality and flourish in display use.
Capitals tend to be more expressive than the lowercase, using extended curves and occasional swashes that can pull visual attention at the start of words. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic with narrow forms and delicate terminals, matching the overall vertical emphasis.
