A delicate script with brisk rightward motion and pronounced thick–thin stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from long, tapering entry and exit strokes, with frequent loops and occasional extended terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel tall and slender, with small interior counters and compact lowercase bodies set under relatively prominent ascenders/descenders. Capitals lean toward ornamental constructions, often using single-stroke gestures and open curves rather than rigid structures, while lowercase joins remain fluid but not uniformly connected in every pairing.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as invitations, event stationery, beauty or fashion branding, boutique packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It performs best at display sizes where the hairlines, loops, and swashy terminals can remain crisp and legible.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, balancing sophistication with an informal handwritten charm. Its thin hairlines and sweeping curves give it a luxe, romantic feel that reads as personal and graceful rather than loud or playful.
Designed to evoke a modern calligraphy look with elegant movement and expressive terminals, offering a refined handwritten signature feel for premium, personal-forward design contexts.
Spacing appears intentionally loose in places to preserve the airy stroke endings and prevent collisions from long swashes. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple, slender forms and subtle contrast that keeps them visually consistent with the letters.
