A delicate script face with a steep rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation, mimicking pointed-pen calligraphy. Strokes are slender overall, with hairline entry/exit strokes, tapered terminals, and occasional teardrop-like joins that give the rhythm a handwritten feel. Capitals are tall and expressive, featuring extended ascenders and understated swashes, while the lowercase maintains narrow proportions and a compact, short-bodied appearance. Letter connections are selective rather than uniformly continuous, producing a flowing line that still retains clear individual letterforms.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and flourishes can breathe—wedding stationery, invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or logotypes when used at comfortable sizes with ample tracking and line spacing.
The font projects a refined, romantic tone—graceful and light on the page, with a gentle sense of movement. Its high-contrast strokes and looping details feel formal and polished, yet still personable like careful handwriting. Overall, it reads as airy and elegant, suited to moments that benefit from a touch of charm.
The letterforms suggest an intention to emulate refined calligraphic handwriting with pointed-pen contrast, balancing elegance with legibility. The design emphasizes graceful rhythm and expressive capitals to create distinctive wordmarks and celebratory, formal-feeling text.
The design leans on vertical emphasis with tall ascenders and generous curvature in bowls and loops. Spacing appears to vary naturally, reinforcing a handwritten cadence; some glyphs feature prominent entry/exit strokes that can create lively word shapes in display settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and curved terminals that visually align with the letters.
