A delicate, calligraphic cursive with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced contrast between hairline upstrokes and heavier, brush-like downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and quick, with long entry/exit strokes and occasional swashes that extend beyond the main body, especially in capitals. The x-height sits notably low relative to ascenders, giving the lowercase a compact core with tall, graceful verticals. Strokes taper sharply to pointed terminals, and spacing stays relatively tight, creating a lively, continuous rhythm even when letters are not fully connected.
Best suited to short-form display settings where its fine strokes and swashy motion can be appreciated—brand marks, boutique packaging, invitations, event materials, and editorial headlines. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes and with ample breathing room, where the hairline details and extended strokes won’t be lost.
The overall tone feels elegant and intimate, like fast, confident handwriting captured with a flexible pen. Its lightness and sweeping gestures read as refined and slightly dramatic, lending a romantic, personal character rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to emulate a stylish, modern calligraphic hand—prioritizing fluid motion, contrast, and signature-like flair for expressive display typography rather than continuous long-text reading.
Capitals show the most flourish, with looping forms and occasional extended lead-ins that can dominate at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, appearing slender and slightly irregular in width, matching the script’s brisk, gestural movement.
