A delicate, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lightly bouncing baseline rhythm. Strokes taper to fine terminals, with frequent looped ascenders/descenders and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are generally narrow and tall, with compact counters and a small x-height relative to the ascenders, giving words a vertical, elongated texture. Connection behavior reads as mostly cursive in text, while individual glyphs retain a hand-drawn irregularity in joins and stroke endings.
This font suits short to medium-length text where elegance and personality are desired, such as wedding suites, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and editorial-style headlines. It works especially well in larger sizes where the thin hairlines and internal loops can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined yet playful—suggesting modern calligraphy with a personable, handmade charm. The sharp contrasts and looping forms add a romantic, boutique feel, while the narrow proportions keep it light and graceful.
The design appears intended to emulate contemporary hand-lettered calligraphy: tall, narrow forms with expressive loops and high stroke contrast that add sophistication without becoming overly formal. Its consistent flourish vocabulary suggests a focus on decorative display use and stylish wordmarks.
Uppercase characters show more gestural variety, with several forms using extended lead-in strokes and slender interior spaces that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with thin hairlines and curving forms that feel consistent with the letters.
