A formal script with tall, slender letterforms and pronounced stroke-contrast, pairing hairline entry/exit strokes with darker downstrokes. Terminals are tapered and often finish in fine, curling flicks, with occasional swashes on capitals and ascenders. The rhythm is lightly connected in feel, but many letters read as loosely linked rather than fully continuous, giving the line a lively, hand-drawn cadence. Lowercase forms are compact through the x-height with long ascenders/descenders, and counters stay open despite the narrow proportions.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its delicate hairlines and swashes can remain crisp—such as wedding stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and campaign headlines. It can work for pull quotes or brief overlays on social graphics, but the fine strokes and narrow forms suggest avoiding very small sizes or dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is graceful and refined, with a playful flourish from the loops and curling terminals. It feels boutique and romantic rather than formal-institutional, suggesting personal, celebratory, or artisanal contexts.
Likely designed to evoke a modern calligraphic handwriting style with a fashion-forward, celebratory feel—combining elegant contrast, tall proportions, and decorative terminals to create distinctive word-shapes in display typography.
Capitals lean toward decorative display shapes with varied entry strokes and occasional exaggerated curves, while lowercase maintains a consistent, pen-written structure. Numerals are similarly slender and flowing, with some figures using looped forms that match the script’s swashy character.
