A calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and frequent hairline entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with tight sidebearings, producing a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes often taper to needle-like terminals, with occasional small loops and gentle swashes that add movement without becoming overly ornate. The texture alternates between bold main stems and delicate connecting strokes, creating a lively, sparkling color in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the high contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated—such as invitations, logo wordmarks, boutique branding, packaging labels, and pull quotes. It can work for brief lines of text, but the delicate joins and narrow proportions are most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and slightly fanciful, mixing formal calligraphy cues with a light, personable hand-drawn feel. It reads as romantic and boutique-like, with enough quirks and flourish to feel expressive rather than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, calligraphy-inspired script that feels premium and expressive, emphasizing dramatic contrast, tall proportions, and subtle flourish for standout display typography.
Caps are especially elongated and decorative, helping headings feel distinctive, while lowercase maintains a consistent cursive flow. Numerals echo the same contrast and slender proportions, giving dates and short numbers a coordinated, stylish look.
