A tall, slender handwritten script with an upright stance and very delicate hairline strokes. Letterforms lean on long ascenders and descenders, narrow counters, and occasional looped entries and exits that suggest a loosely connected rhythm rather than strict continuous joining. Capitals are especially elongated and gestural, with simple swashes and occasional curl-like terminals, while lowercase keeps a light, tidy flow with small bowls and compact apertures. Overall spacing feels open and vertical, giving words a stacked, airy silhouette.
Best suited to short display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and quote graphics. It can also work for section headings or pull quotes when set at comfortable sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is light and lyrical, combining a refined, dressy feel with a slightly quirky, sketch-like charm. Its thin strokes and tall proportions read as graceful and gentle, while the irregular handwritten cadence keeps it personable and informal.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant handwritten voice that stays legible while still feeling personal and drawn by hand. Its emphasis on height, airy spacing, and restrained flourishes suggests a focus on refined display typography rather than dense, continuous text.
The set emphasizes verticality: many glyphs appear narrowly built with extended stems, and several characters rely on subtle entry/exit strokes that can create intermittent connections in running text. Numerals follow the same delicate, handwritten logic, with simple curves and narrow widths that stay visually consistent with the letters.
