A slender, handwritten script with tall, airy proportions and a lightly bouncing rhythm. Strokes move between fine hairlines and thicker downstrokes, with small entry/exit hooks and occasional looped terminals that give letters a drawn-with-a-pen character. Caps are narrow and elongated, often built from simple vertical stems and open bowls, while lowercase forms stay compact with very small counters and a notably low midline relative to the long ascenders and descenders. Connections are suggested by flowing strokes and soft joins, but letterforms remain individually articulated for clarity in mixed-case settings.
Best suited to short to medium display copy where its thin strokes and looped details can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique packaging, social graphics, and quote layouts. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes when given sufficient size and spacing to preserve its delicate stroke contrast.
The overall tone feels friendly and storybook-like—polished enough to read as “nice handwriting,” yet quirky in its loops and tall, spindly structure. It communicates a light, personal voice with a gentle elegance rather than a formal calligraphic strictness.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, expressive pen lettering with a narrow footprint, combining decorative loops and tall proportions to create a distinctive, personable voice for display typography.
Figures and punctuation match the narrow, upright posture, with several numerals featuring curved tails and teardrop-like terminals. The texture on a line of text is relatively light, with pronounced vertical emphasis and lively terminal flicks that become more noticeable at display sizes.
