A slender, calligraphic script with tall ascenders and descenders, fine hairlines, and sharp contrast between thick downstrokes and tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with a rhythmic, handwritten cadence and occasional looped terminals. Capitals are simplified but expressive, often built from a dominant vertical stroke with subtle cross-strokes and gentle curves, while lowercase forms keep a light, flowing connection tendency and compact counters. Numerals follow the same refined stroke logic, mixing thin curves with slightly heavier stems for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and packaging where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It also works as a display face for short headlines, pull quotes, and logo wordmarks, especially when paired with a quiet serif or minimal sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, balancing formal calligraphy cues with a playful, storybook softness. Its spiky hairline flicks and looping details add a charming, handcrafted personality that reads as personal and decorative rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke modern calligraphy: a light, high-contrast handwritten script that feels premium and personable, optimized for decorative display rather than dense paragraph setting.
Spacing and texture create a lightly dancing baseline impression in running text, with standout swashes on select letters (notably in capitals and looped lowercase forms). The narrow proportions and thin joins make it most visually stable at larger sizes or when given generous line spacing.
