A high-contrast, upright script with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thick, smooth main strokes paired with extremely fine hairline entry/exit strokes and swashes. Letterforms are relatively narrow with tall ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a small x-height that emphasizes the vertical rhythm. Connections are selective rather than fully continuous, with many characters finishing in long, tapering terminals that create airy counters and a light, flicked texture around the heavier stems. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing bold verticals with delicate curves and occasional flourished tails.
Best suited to display settings where the hairlines and flourishes can breathe—wedding and event stationery, beauty/fashion branding, product packaging, and short editorial headlines or pull quotes. It performs most confidently at medium-to-large sizes, where the fine strokes remain visible and the elegant rhythm reads clearly.
The overall tone is refined and expressive—equal parts polished and playful. Its dramatic contrast and looping terminals evoke a boutique, invitation-like feel, leaning toward romantic and slightly theatrical rather than purely utilitarian.
Designed to capture a hand-written, calligraphy-inspired look with dramatic stroke contrast and decorative swash behavior. The intent appears focused on expressive word shapes and a boutique, premium presentation rather than dense text setting.
Caps are prominent and decorative, with several letters using extended hairline cross-strokes and asymmetric swashes that add movement at word starts. The texture alternates between bold, inked strokes and whisper-thin lines, so spacing and background show through strongly, especially in longer phrases.
