A delicate, calligraphic script with a steep rightward slant, needle-like hairlines, and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Forms are compact and upright in proportion, with a restrained x-height and long, tapering ascenders and descenders that create a tall, lacy silhouette. Strokes show pen-like modulation and occasional open counters, while capitals feature prominent loops and extended swashes that add emphasis without becoming overly dense.
Best suited to short to medium-length settings where its thin strokes and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding suites, certificates, luxury or beauty branding, product packaging, and display lines. It can work for brief quotes or accents in editorial layouts when paired with a more neutral companion for body copy.
The font conveys a formal, romantic tone—graceful and ceremonial rather than casual. Its airy contrast and looping capitals suggest classic correspondence and invitation culture, with a polished, boutique feel.
The design appears intended to emulate refined penmanship with a fashion-forward silhouette: dramatic capitals, gentle connectivity, and high elegance at display sizes. Its compact lowercase and elongated extenders prioritize style and gesture over utilitarian readability in dense text.
Spacing appears intentionally open to let the thin strokes breathe, while the strong slant creates a consistent forward rhythm across words. In continuous text, the design reads as a sequence of elegant gestures, with the most visual weight and character concentrated in the capitals and taller extenders.
