A flowing, right-slanted script with delicate, hairline-like strokes and a lightly calligraphic modulation. Letterforms are tall and compact with long ascenders and descenders, creating a spacious vertical rhythm and a distinctly petite lowercase body. Terminals are often tapered and slightly curved, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional flourished loops in both cases. Capitals are more expressive and open, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, quick pen-written cadence; figures follow the same slender, handwritten logic with simple curves and minimal ornament.
Works best for short-to-medium phrases where its slender strokes and tall rhythm can breathe—such as invitations, wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, and pull quotes. It is also suitable for product labels or social graphics when paired with a simpler companion face for body text.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like neat handwritten notes or formal invitations. Its slim, airy presence reads as polished and gentle rather than loud, with a romantic, boutique sensibility.
Designed to capture an elegant, pen-written script look with refined, elongated proportions and tasteful swash-like movement, aiming for a personal yet polished voice for display typography.
Connections between letters appear selective rather than fully continuous, which helps preserve clarity despite the narrow proportions. The contrast between understated lowercase and more gestural capitals makes it especially effective when using initial caps or short title-case phrases.
