A slender, calligraphic script with tall proportions and generous ascenders/descenders, drawn with a fine stroke that swells slightly on curves for a subtle pen-like contrast. Letterforms lean mostly upright and rely on looping bowls, long entry/exit strokes, and occasional extended cross-strokes to create a flowing rhythm. Spacing feels open and light, with narrow letter widths and long vertical strokes giving the overall texture a floating, filigree quality.
Best suited for short-form display: wedding suites, event invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and feminine editorial headlines. It works well where whitespace and large sizes allow the thin strokes and flourishes to remain crisp and intentional.
The tone is graceful and intimate, reading like careful handwritten calligraphy rather than casual marker script. Its lightness and looping forms suggest a romantic, airy sensibility suited to polished, personal messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate refined, pen-drawn cursive with an emphasis on elegance and vertical grace, using delicate strokes and looping capitals to add a signature-like presence in display settings.
Capital letters are especially decorative, featuring prominent loops and elongated stems that can become visual focal points in a word. Lowercase forms remain comparatively minimal, with small counters and compact bodies that emphasize the tall vertical movement; at smaller sizes the fine details and hairline joins may feel fragile.
