A delicate, calligraphic script with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin stroke modulation. Letterforms show a consistent upright stance with long ascenders and descenders, tapered terminals, and occasional looped entry/exit strokes that create an ornamental rhythm. Connections appear fluid in running text, while individual capitals are more display-like, featuring slender swashes and fine hairline cross-strokes. Overall spacing is open and the forms feel lightly drawn, emphasizing verticality and graceful curves.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as invitations, greeting cards, brand marks, product packaging, and editorial headlines where its fine hairlines and ornate capitals can be appreciated. It works especially well for names, titles, and accent phrases, and is less appropriate for long paragraphs or small sizes where delicate strokes may recede.
The font conveys a refined, romantic tone with a touch of playful flourish. Its looping strokes and slender hairlines give it a boutique, handwritten elegance that feels suited to celebratory and decorative messaging rather than utilitarian copy.
The design appears intended to capture the look of careful pen script—graceful, vertically oriented, and lightly embellished—balancing readability with ornamental charm. It prioritizes a polished handwritten feel with expressive capitals and smooth cursive flow for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are particularly distinctive, with varying degrees of flourish that can stand out in short words or initials. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with curving forms and thin entry strokes, supporting coordinated styling in invitations and headings.
