A delicate, pen-drawn script with tall, narrow proportions and pronounced hairline strokes that create a refined, high-contrast look. Letterforms show generous looping in bowls and terminals, with occasional swashes and extended entry/exit strokes, especially in capitals. The rhythm is lightly connected in places but often reads as semi-joined handwriting, with open counters and a clearly calligraphic, single-pen gesture. Ascenders and descenders are long and prominent, while lowercase bodies stay small, giving the design a graceful vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairline strokes and looping details can be appreciated—such as wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, headers, and short pull quotes. It works especially well when paired with a simple sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like a formal note written quickly with a fine nib. Its looping flourishes add a playful, storybook charm while still reading as polished and upscale. The lightness and airy spacing convey softness and restraint rather than boldness.
The design appears intended to mimic refined, modern calligraphy: light, flowing, and decorative, with enough irregularity and flourish to feel human while remaining cohesive across the alphabet.
Capitals feature noticeable stylistic variety with occasional extended cross-strokes and looped forms that can become focal points in a word. Numerals appear similarly hairline and elegant, matching the script’s fine-stroke character and maintaining a consistent handwritten flavor.
