A tall, slanted script with a brush-pen feel, built from narrow letterforms and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Strokes taper sharply into needle-like terminals, with occasional dry-brush texture and ink-trap-like dark spots where strokes overlap or change direction. Capitals are prominent and expressive, often featuring extended entry strokes and looped or hooked details, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Spacing and widths vary naturally, reinforcing a hand-drawn rhythm while maintaining consistent slant and baseline behavior in text.
Best suited for display settings where its tall rhythm and dramatic contrast can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, social graphics, short headlines, and pull quotes. Use at moderate-to-large sizes and with generous tracking/leading to keep the delicate joins and tight counters from closing up.
The overall tone is airy and refined, with a slightly theatrical flourish that reads as romantic and a bit whimsical. Its sharp tapers and looping capitals give it a vintage stationery energy—personal, expressive, and intentionally imperfect in a handmade way.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, stylish brush-calligraphy: elegant, narrow, and energetic, with showy capitals and textured stroke endings that prioritize personality over strict regularity.
In longer words the texture and contrast create lively sparkle, but the narrow proportions and small interior counters can make dense passages feel busy at small sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten, tapered construction and lean, blending well with the letterforms.
