A flowing calligraphic script with a pronounced slant and dramatic stroke modulation. Letterforms alternate between hairline entry/exit strokes and fuller downstrokes, creating a lively rhythm and crisp sparkle in the counters. The caps are tall and expressive with occasional flourished terminals, while the lowercase shows compact bodies with long ascenders/descenders and frequent looped joins that keep the texture moving. Spacing is relatively tight and the forms are irregular in width in a natural, handwritten way, giving words a dynamic, ribbon-like silhouette.
Best for logotypes, boutique branding, invitations, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short editorial headlines where the high-contrast script can shine. It also works well for pull quotes and product names when set at display sizes with slightly generous tracking to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and romantic, balancing delicacy with confident, inky downstrokes. It feels boutique and celebratory—suited to designs that aim for a personal, upscale signature rather than a casual note.
Likely designed to emulate pointed-pen calligraphy in a consistent, repeatable type system—delivering a formal handwritten look with expressive capitals and smooth connective flow for elegant display typography.
Several characters feature prominent entry strokes and extended terminals that can create graceful overlaps in longer words, and the strong contrast makes the thinnest strokes visually sensitive at small sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender curves and occasional swash-like finishing strokes that read best when given breathing room.
