A tall, slender handwritten print with a monoline feel and subtly modulated stroke. Forms are built from long, slightly leaning stems and narrow counters, with generous ascenders and descenders that create a lot of vertical rhythm. Curves are lightly drawn and open, terminals are mostly tapered or softly blunt, and the overall construction keeps letters unconnected while retaining a consistent, hand-drawn cadence. Numerals follow the same slim, upright-leaning structure, staying legible but intentionally delicate.
Best suited to short, expressive copy where its tall, delicate rhythm can be appreciated—such as headlines, invitations, greeting cards, product packaging, pull quotes, and boutique-style branding. It can work for brief subheads, but the very slim strokes and tight interiors make it less appropriate for dense paragraphs or small UI text.
The font reads as light, refined, and a bit whimsical—like quick ink lettering with a careful hand. Its elongated proportions and airy texture give it a poetic, boutique tone rather than a loud or casual one.
Likely designed to mimic a neat, lightly italic handwritten print with an intentionally elongated silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and personality through height, narrow spacing, and a consistent, sketch-like stroke presence.
Capitals are especially tall and prominent, giving mixed-case text a distinctive headline-like silhouette even at moderate sizes. The thin strokes and narrow interiors mean it benefits from generous tracking and sufficient size to preserve clarity in text.
