A slender, calligraphic script with pronounced verticality and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Strokes alternate between hairline connectors and firmer downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional swash-like loops in bowls and descenders. Letterforms are generally upright and narrow, with a compact x-height against tall ascenders and long, curling descenders; counters stay open and light. Connection behavior is mixed: many lowercase letters join via fine entry/exit strokes, while others read as partially discrete, giving a lively, hand-drawn rhythm rather than strict continuous joining.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its hairlines and looping details can remain crisp, such as wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, cosmetic or artisan packaging, pull quotes, and elegant headlines. It can work as a secondary accent face paired with a simpler text font for readability.
The overall tone is poised and decorative, balancing formal calligraphy cues with a playful, airy delicacy. Its thin connectors and looping details convey a romantic, boutique feel, with enough irregularity to keep it personable and expressive.
Designed to evoke a modern take on formal handwritten script—tall, graceful letterforms with delicate joins and ornamental loops—aimed at creating an upscale, expressive signature-like presence in display typography.
Capitals are especially tall and stylized, with simplified skeletal structures and occasional internal loops that read as ornamental rather than strictly structural. Numerals are similarly slim and high-contrast, with elegant curves and light terminals that match the letterforms’ refined texture.
