A tall, slender script with pronounced contrast between hairline connectors and heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are largely upright with narrow proportions and generous ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical, ribbon-like rhythm. Strokes show smooth, pen-like modulation and frequent looped entries and exits; many capitals feature extended stems and soft swashes, while lowercase joins are mostly continuous with occasional breaks where forms prefer a single-stroke look. Counters are open and oval, terminals are tapered, and the overall texture stays light despite the bold downstrokes due to the fine connecting lines.
Best suited to display settings such as wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial or social headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or signatures where its looping capitals and slender texture can be appreciated without requiring dense, long-form readability.
The font reads as graceful and lightly playful, mixing formal calligraphic cues with a hand-drawn charm. Its looping forms and thin connections give it a romantic, boutique feel, while the tall proportions add a refined, slightly theatrical presence in headlines.
Designed to evoke a pen-written, calligraphic script that feels polished yet personable, emphasizing tall elegance, high-contrast stroke modulation, and decorative loops for expressive display typography.
The character set shown includes distinctive, highly stylized capitals and narrow figures that match the same contrast and tapering. The very small x-height relative to ascenders makes lowercase text feel delicate; spacing and rhythm look best when set with a bit of breathing room to preserve the fine hairlines and prevent visual crowding.
