A delicate, right-slanted script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, pointed terminals. Strokes behave like a flexible pen: hairline entry/exit strokes contrast with fuller downstrokes, and curves stay smooth and continuous. Letterforms are narrow and upright in posture despite the slant, with compact counters and a very small x-height relative to ascenders. Capitals are sweeping and ornate, while lowercase forms connect readily with long lead-ins, occasional loops, and extended exit strokes that create a flowing horizontal rhythm.
This style suits short, display-led settings such as invitations, wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and pull quotes. It performs best when given room for its long joins and flourishes, especially at larger sizes or with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a classical calligraphy feel that reads as formal yet personal. Its airy hairlines and generous flourishes add a sense of ceremony and romance, making text feel like a handwritten inscription rather than a utilitarian script.
The design appears intended to mimic refined, pen-written cursive with a calligraphic contrast and expressive capitals. It prioritizes elegance and movement, offering a polished handwritten look for decorative typography rather than dense body text.
In running text the long ascenders/descenders and frequent joining strokes create an animated baseline and a strong sense of motion. Numerals and capitals echo the same pen-written contrast, and the design favors stylish shapes over strict uniformity, which enhances its handwritten character.
