A delicate, calligraphy-inspired script with hairline entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are tall and slender, with long ascenders and descenders and a compact lowercase body that reads as intentionally petite. Curves are smooth and looped in places (notably in several lowercase forms), while many capitals lean toward simplified, display-like constructions with minimal ornament and occasional sharp terminals. Spacing feels airy, and the rhythm alternates between narrow, vertical strokes and open oval counters, creating a light, refined texture in words.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, brand marks, invitations, beauty/fashion packaging, and editorial pull quotes where its fine strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated. It works especially well when given generous size and whitespace to preserve its crisp contrast and delicate details.
The overall tone is graceful and boutique-like, mixing formal script elegance with a slightly playful, hand-drawn charm. Its high-fashion posture and fine strokes give it a polished feel, while the varied stroke endings and occasional swashy forms add personality and warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a chic, formal script voice with a modern, airy silhouette—prioritizing elegance and visual distinction over dense, small-size text utility.
The uppercase set includes several tall, statement capitals that can dominate a line, making casing choices important for hierarchy. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast approach, with simple forms and occasional curved flourishes that match the script’s flow.
