A delicate, calligraphic script with tall, slender letterforms and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often taper to needle-like terminals, with occasional teardrop and ball-like finishes that emphasize the pen-driven feel. Uppercase letters are stylized and decorative, using elongated stems and open bowls, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably low x-height and frequent loops in ascenders and descenders. Spacing appears irregular in a natural, handwritten way, and connections between letters are selective rather than consistently cursive, producing a lively rhythm across words.
Best suited for display settings where its high-contrast hairlines and ornate capitals can remain crisp and readable, such as wedding suites, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, and premium packaging. It also works well for short editorial accents—headlines, pull quotes, or section titles—when paired with a calmer text face.
The font conveys a refined, romantic tone with a lightly playful edge. Its airy hairlines and looping forms suggest personal correspondence and boutique elegance rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to mimic elegant penmanship with a fashion-forward, boutique sensibility, emphasizing graceful loops, tall proportions, and expressive capitals for memorable wordmarks and decorative headings.
Some glyphs show strong personality and asymmetry (notably in capitals and in letters with loops), which creates charm but also makes the texture more varied across a line. Numerals echo the same slender, calligraphic construction, with several figures leaning on sweeping curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
