A tall, slender handwritten script with upright posture and flowing, calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced contrast with fine hairlines and thicker downstrokes, plus tapered terminals that often finish in small hooks or teardrop-like ends. Letterforms are narrow and vertically emphasized, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a gently bouncing baseline rhythm; connections appear in many lowercase letters but not as a rigid continuous join. Capitals are simplified and elongated, reading more like drawn display initials than formal swash caps.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where its tall rhythm and delicate hairlines can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or subheads when ample size and spacing preserve its fine details.
The overall tone feels light, personable, and slightly old-fashioned, mixing neat penmanship with a playful, storybook charm. Its thin entry/exit strokes and looping gestures give it an elegant, romantic character without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to mimic careful, stylized pen lettering—clean and legible, yet still clearly hand-drawn—providing a graceful script option for decorative, personality-forward typography.
The lowercase is notably compact in height relative to the tall ascenders/descenders, which increases the airy vertical movement and makes words look lively. Numerals follow the same drawn, narrow sensibility with simple curves and occasional flourish-like turns, keeping a cohesive handwritten texture across alphanumerics.
