A delicate, calligraphy-led script with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders and a relatively small x-height that emphasizes the tall rhythm of the line. Strokes taper into hairline entry and exit terminals, and many characters feature gentle swells through the main downstrokes. Curves are smooth and flowing with occasional looped constructions (notably in forms like g, y, and several capitals), giving the design a continuous handwritten cadence even where letters are not strictly connected.
Works best as a display script for invitations, event stationery, and formal announcements where elegance is the priority. It also suits boutique branding, beauty/lifestyle packaging, and short editorial accents such as pull quotes or section openers. Use generous tracking and size to preserve the hairline details and keep the narrow forms from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is graceful and formal-leaning, suggesting polished handwriting suited to ceremonial or sentimental contexts. Its light touch and fine terminals feel airy and upscale, while the looping movement adds a romantic, personal character.
Designed to emulate refined pen lettering with a poised, fashion-oriented silhouette and controlled calligraphic contrast. The intent appears to balance readability with decorative capitals and looping descenders for a polished handwritten signature effect.
Capitals are noticeably more ornate than the lowercase, using larger entry strokes and elongated curves to create a decorative headline presence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender diagonals and tapered terminals that match the script’s rhythm. At smaller sizes, the finest hairlines may visually recede, while larger settings highlight the contrast and flourish.
