A calligraphic script with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, set on a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating lots of vertical whitespace. Terminals taper to fine points and many capitals feature long entry strokes and sweeping loops; joins are fluid but not uniformly connected, giving it a hand-drawn, pen-on-paper feel. Overall spacing is light and open, and the figures and capitals echo the same high-contrast, cursive rhythm.
Well-suited to wedding stationery, event invitations, beauty and boutique branding, and short headline phrases where the tall, looping forms can breathe. It works best for names, titles, and brief quotes rather than long passages, especially in small sizes or low-resolution contexts.
The font reads as graceful and intimate, with a fashion-forward, romantic tone. Its wispy strokes and flowing swashes suggest a personal, luxurious voice more than an everyday, utilitarian one.
Designed to emulate elegant, high-contrast cursive penmanship with decorative capitals and a light, airy cadence. The emphasis appears to be on expressive gesture and refined styling for display-oriented typography.
Capital forms are especially ornamental, with extended flourishes that can dominate a line if used at smaller sizes or in dense text. The extremely fine hairlines and high contrast imply best results on clean backgrounds and at sizes where the thin strokes won’t break up in reproduction.
