A refined script with tall, slender proportions and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with occasional bulb-like terminals and gentle entry/exit strokes that suggest a pen-driven rhythm. Curves are narrow and vertical, with ascenders that rise high and descenders that loop gracefully, creating a lively texture. The uppercase set features prominent swashes and elongated strokes, while the lowercase keeps a consistent, flowing movement with occasional breaks that read as hand-drawn rather than strictly connected.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its tall loops and high-contrast strokes can remain crisp—such as invitations, event stationery, beauty or boutique branding, packaging accents, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or logo wordmarks where distinctive capitals and swashy forms are an advantage.
The overall tone is graceful and slightly playful, combining formal calligraphic cues with a light, charming informality. The narrow rhythm and looping details give it a romantic, boutique feel suited to expressive, personal messaging.
The letterforms appear intended to evoke a polished, calligraphy-inspired signature style with decorative capitals and a light, airy rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and personality over plain readability, aiming to add flourish and refinement to display typography.
The design emphasizes verticality and elegant spacing, with standout capitals that can dominate a line when used in headings. Numerals follow the same thin, curving logic, with decorative bends that lean toward display use rather than utilitarian tabular settings.
