A slender, calligraphic script with pronounced stroke contrast and a pen-like modulation. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, frequent looped constructions (notably in b, f, g, y), and soft, tapered terminals that mimic hairline entry and exit strokes. The rhythm is lightly bouncy rather than rigidly uniform, and many capitals lean toward simplified monoline silhouettes with occasional swashes, giving the set a hand-drawn, ink-on-paper feel. Numerals are similarly delicate with occasional curls and thin-to-thick transitions, matching the letterforms’ high-contrast texture.
Best suited to short display settings such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique and beauty branding, product packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where the narrow, high-contrast texture and looping details can be given room to breathe. For longer passages, larger sizes and increased leading help maintain clarity and avoid hairline loss.
The font reads as refined and personal, balancing elegance with a playful, handwritten charm. Its thin hairlines and looping forms evoke invitations, boutique branding, and craft aesthetics—polished but not overly formal. Overall it feels light, graceful, and slightly quirky, like modern calligraphy with a relaxed, expressive cadence.
Designed to capture the look of contemporary hand-lettered calligraphy: tall, narrow forms, elegant contrast, and expressive loops that add personality without becoming overly ornate. The overall intent appears to be a stylish script for modern lifestyle applications—delicate, distinctive, and immediately ‘handmade’ in tone.
Connectivity varies: many lowercase letters link smoothly in words, while others appear to separate more like a casual script, creating a mixed connected/unconnected flow. Some strokes approach hairline thickness, so the texture can look particularly delicate in smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The narrow proportions and tall extenders create a vertical, airy color that works best with generous line spacing.
