A slim, hairline handwritten script with tall ascenders and a notably small x-height, giving the alphabet a stretched, willowy silhouette. Strokes stay mostly monoline but show subtle pressure-like variation, with clean entry/exit strokes and occasional long crossbars and loops that add sparkle without becoming heavy. Letterforms are narrow and upright-leaning, with open counters and generous internal whitespace; capitals are especially tall and decorative, while lowercase stays light and quick. Numerals follow the same thin, handwritten logic, pairing simple forms with a few flourish-like curves.
This face works best for short to medium-length display text where its delicate strokes and tall proportions can breathe—titles, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle branding. It can also add a handwritten accent to packaging or social graphics, especially when set larger with ample tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is light and personable, balancing casual note-taking energy with a refined, boutique feel. Its tall, wispy rhythm reads as friendly and slightly whimsical, like neat handwriting dressed up for a headline.
The design appears intended to capture a refined, modern handwritten look—thin, upright, and fashion-forward—while keeping enough irregularity and looping motion to feel genuinely penned rather than mechanically scripted.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally uneven in a human way, which enhances authenticity but can make dense settings feel busy. The font’s long ascenders, descenders, and occasional extended strokes create a lively vertical texture that stands out best when given room.
