A flowing cursive with a pronounced right slant and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Strokes alternate between needle-like hairlines and weighty verticals, with tapered entries, teardrop terminals, and occasional ball-like dots. Letterforms show a lively, slightly irregular rhythm: widths vary noticeably, curves are generous, and many glyphs carry subtle swashes or looping connections, especially in ascenders and descenders. Capitals are ornate and high-contrast, while the lowercase maintains a compact body with relatively small x-height and long, expressive extenders.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where its hairlines and flourishes can breathe—such as invitations, greeting cards, beauty or boutique branding, packaging labels, and pull quotes. It can work for brief subheads or accent text, but the extreme contrast and swashy details are most effective at larger sizes and in uncluttered layouts.
The overall tone feels refined yet playful—like modern calligraphy with a vintage, decorative twist. Its looping joins and sharp contrast create a sense of drama and charm, lending a romantic, boutique personality rather than a strictly formal one.
The font appears designed to capture a calligraphic, hand-lettered look with high-fashion contrast and decorative loops, prioritizing personality and elegance over utilitarian text neutrality. Its variable letter widths and expressive terminals suggest a focus on distinctive word shapes for display typography.
The design mixes connected-script behavior with occasional breakpoints, producing a handwritten cadence without becoming messy. Numerals echo the same contrast and flourish, with some figures showing curled terminals that read as intentionally decorative.
