A delicate calligraphic script with pronounced contrast between hairline entry strokes and thicker downstrokes, producing a crisp, pen-written rhythm. Letterforms are tall and slender with long ascenders and descenders, compact bowls, and a notably small x-height that emphasizes verticality. Terminals frequently taper to fine points, and many capitals incorporate looping strokes and extended lead-ins that read like restrained swashes. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing a handwritten cadence while keeping an overall upright posture and clean silhouette.
Best suited for display use where its fine hairlines and flourishing capitals can be appreciated—such as wedding suites, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for names, monograms, and small blocks of decorative copy when set with generous size and spacing.
The font conveys a polished, romantic tone with a light, graceful presence. Its looping capitals and airy hairlines add a touch of whimsy while still feeling formal enough for classic, occasion-driven design.
Designed to emulate formal penmanship with high-contrast strokes and graceful looping capitals, aiming for an upscale handwritten feel. The tall proportions and small x-height prioritize elegance and ornament over extended-text utility, positioning it as a statement script for curated, occasion-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms are the most decorative, with pronounced loops and occasional crossbar flourishes, while lowercase is simpler and more legible but still maintains calligraphic joins and tapered finishes. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slender proportions, with several figures featuring curled terminals that align with the script styling.
