A refined, calligraphy-inspired script with a steep rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are hairline-light through much of the letterforms, with selective pressure-like emphasis on downstrokes and tapered, needlepoint terminals. Proportions are tall and willowy: ascenders and capitals rise high, lowercase forms sit low with a notably small x-height, and counters stay open and uncluttered. Many capitals and select lowercase letters feature restrained entry/exit swashes, while overall spacing remains airy to preserve clarity despite the slender construction.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, packaging, and magazine-style headlines. It performs well for short phrases, names, and pull quotes, and is less ideal for long body text or small-size UI due to its hairline details and high contrast.
The font conveys a polished, intimate tone—graceful and romantic rather than casual. Its light touch and sweeping rhythm suggest ceremony and sophistication, with a boutique, editorial feel that reads as personal without looking messy.
The design appears intended to emulate modern pointed-pen handwriting: a light, luxurious script with controlled flourishes and a consistent, upright-leaning rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and vertical grace, offering distinctive capitals and delicate lowercase forms for high-end, personal-forward typography.
Capitals are especially expressive, mixing looped and long-stem constructions that create strong vertical emphasis in words. Numerals follow the same delicate, calligraphic logic with slim forms and subtle curves, visually aligning with the letters for cohesive titling and short numeric details.
