A slender calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and frequent hairline entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Curves are smooth and brush-like, with occasional teardrop terminals and delicate swashes that extend beyond the core strokes. Connection behavior is mixed: many lowercase forms feel naturally cursive, while capitals read more like standalone, stylized initials with light joining potential.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its delicate contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding materials, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It works especially well at larger sizes or with ample letterspacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is graceful and romantic, with a slightly playful, storybook elegance. Its fine hairlines and looping forms convey a handcrafted, boutique feel that leans classic rather than casual.
Designed to emulate refined pen lettering with dramatic contrast and decorative loops, prioritizing elegance and expressiveness over utilitarian text readability. The narrow proportions and tall rhythm suggest an intent to create a distinctive, upscale signature style for display typography.
Spacing appears generous for such narrow shapes, helping counters stay open despite the thin strokes. Several glyphs use expressive loops (notably in letters like g, y, and some capitals), and numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic logic for a cohesive display look.
