A tall, calligraphic script with slender strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads like quick ink-on-paper lettering. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gently varied rhythm, mixing open bowls and narrow counters with long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Capitals are decorative and loop-forward, while the lowercase shows compact bodies with very small x-height, tall ascenders/descenders, and occasional extended swashes on letters like f, g, j, y, and z. Numerals follow the same light, flowing construction with simple, handwritten proportions.
Best suited to short, prominent lines where its tall proportions and flourishing capitals can shine—such as invitations, logos, product packaging, and pull quotes. It works well for lifestyle and event-driven design, and is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, balancing delicacy with playful flourishes. It feels personal and boutique—more like a signature or invitation hand than a utilitarian text face.
Designed to emulate elegant, modern handwriting with a calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing personality, graceful motion, and decorative capitals over dense readability. The construction suggests a display script meant to add a bespoke, feminine-leaning accent to headlines and names.
Stroke endings are often tapered and slightly pointed, giving the contours a pen-nib finish. Spacing appears intentionally loose in places to preserve the airy, scripted movement, and the more ornate capitals can dominate at larger sizes, reinforcing a display-oriented personality.
