A slender, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes taper to hairline terminals, with smooth entry/exit strokes and frequent looped forms in letters like g, j, y, and Q. Capitals are tall and airy with understated flourishes, while the lowercase stays compact with a short x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create a graceful vertical rhythm. Spacing and connections read like controlled handwriting: mostly flowing, with some characters appearing loosely joined or separated depending on the letter shape, producing a lively, variable texture across words.
This font suits elegant display settings such as brand marks, product names, magazine-style headlines, invitations, and event collateral. It works especially well for short phrases where the looping descenders and tall capitals can read as intentional features, and where ample line spacing can prevent overlaps in dense text.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing luxury cues with a personal, handwritten warmth. High-contrast strokes and tall proportions lend a dressy, boutique feel, while the gentle loops and swashes add romance and charm without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to emulate a formal, modern calligraphy hand—prioritizing graceful motion, high-contrast pen behavior, and a chic, editorial presence. Its proportions and swashy tendencies suggest a focus on expressive display typography rather than long-form body text.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled stress, tapered ends, and occasional loops (notably in 3, 8, and 9), making them feel integrated with the letterforms. The narrow set width and strong contrast create a light-on-its-feet color, best when given breathing room rather than packed tightly.
