A flowing script with tall, slender proportions and dramatic contrast between hairline entry strokes and heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are built from long vertical stems, looping ascenders/descenders, and frequent teardrop-like terminals, with occasional extended cross-strokes and gently tapered finishes. The rhythm feels handwritten and slightly variable, with a mix of connected and loosely separated forms and a strong emphasis on graceful curves over rigid geometry.
Best suited to short display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, beauty/fashion branding, labels, and headline or pull-quote typography. It works particularly well when given generous size and spacing so hairlines and swashes remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, romantic tone with a light, airy presence. Its swashes and looping forms give it a whimsical, boutique feel—decorative and expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to emulate formal modern calligraphy with a fashion-forward, elongated silhouette. It prioritizes elegance and expressive movement through high-contrast strokes, looping structures, and decorative capitals.
Capitals are especially ornamental and tall, often featuring prominent loops and flourish strokes that can extend beyond typical letter boundaries. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and occasional cursive-style curves that match the overall script texture.
