A tall, narrow script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright with an even, calligraphic rhythm and frequent looped ascenders/descenders, giving many glyphs a continuous, pen-drawn feel. Counters are small and vertical, terminals are fine and pointed, and curves stay smooth and controlled, producing a refined silhouette that remains light on the page despite occasional heavier downstrokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender strokes and curving, decorative shapes.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its loops and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or product names, especially when paired with a quieter serif or sans for body copy.
The font reads as graceful and slightly playful, combining a formal handwritten polish with airy, decorative charm. Its high-contrast strokes and looping forms suggest a romantic, boutique sensibility with a hint of vintage stationery style.
The design appears intended to emulate a neat, calligraphic hand with a formal script flavor, emphasizing elegance through narrow proportions, strong contrast, and decorative looped strokes for expressive display typography.
Stroke contrast and spacing create a lively texture: thin hairlines emphasize connections and joins, while thicker strokes punctuate stems and downstrokes. The narrow proportions and tall ascenders make it feel vertical and refined, and the most elaborate loops can become prominent in dense settings.
