A delicate handwritten script with a predominantly monoline feel and occasional pressure-like thickening on curves and joins. The letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes are smooth and slightly springy, with rounded terminals, open bowls, and frequent looped forms in capitals and selected lowercase. Overall spacing reads tight but readable, with a flowing, lightly connected cursive behavior in text settings.
This font is well suited to short to medium-length copy where a personal, crafted feel is desired—such as logos, boutique packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It performs especially well in headlines and pull quotes where the tall proportions and decorative capitals can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is relaxed and personable, like neat pen-and-ink handwriting used for friendly notes or boutique branding. Its tall, looping shapes add a touch of elegance while keeping an informal, approachable character. The mix of clean strokes and whimsical capitals gives it a light, upbeat voice.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, everyday handwriting look with an emphasis on tall proportions and graceful loops. It balances simplicity and ornament through mostly clean strokes paired with expressive uppercase gestures, aiming for an elegant-yet-informal script suitable for modern lifestyle applications.
Capitals are expressive and varied, often featuring long entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like loops that stand out in headings. Lowercase maintains a consistent handwritten cadence, with compact bodies contrasted by prominent extenders. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, matching the font’s vertical emphasis and smooth stroke endings.
