A tall, slender handwritten script with a clean vertical posture and generous open counters. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin behavior, often with hairline entry/exit strokes and thicker downstrokes, giving the letters a calligraphic pen-like rhythm. Proportions are elongated with very tall ascenders and deep descenders, while lowercase bodies stay relatively small, creating an airy, stacked texture in text. Connections are implied by flowing joins and soft terminals, and many characters use looped construction (notably in rounded forms and ascenders), producing a smooth, continuous line with occasional swashes and extended cross-strokes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its tall loops and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated—such as boutique logos, beauty and lifestyle packaging, invitations, greeting cards, and social media quotes. It can also work for subheads or emphasis lines when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels light, charming, and slightly playful while still reading as refined. Its narrow, vertical grace and looping gestures evoke a handwritten note or boutique branding rather than a rigid formal script, balancing sweetness with a touch of sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished handwritten voice with graceful verticality and flowing connections, aiming for a refined yet approachable look. Its narrow build and strong thick–thin rhythm suggest a focus on elegant display typography rather than dense, long-form reading.
In the sample text, the tight horizontal footprint and high vertical reach create a distinctive columnar rhythm, especially in words with repeated ascenders (h, l, t) and looped rounds (o, a, g). Numerals follow the same airy, handwritten logic, with curved forms and delicate terminals that match the letterforms.
