A slim, handwritten script with pronounced stroke contrast: fine hairline entry/exit strokes paired with thicker downstrokes that taper to sharp terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with a gentle rightward slant in places, featuring long ascenders/descenders and frequent loop construction (notably in l, h, f, g, y). Connections are fluid but not uniformly continuous, creating a lively rhythm with variable widths and occasional separated joins. Capitals are tall and expressive with subtle swashes and lifted cross-strokes, while lowercase counters stay relatively compact, keeping the overall texture light and vertical.
Best suited to display applications where its hairlines and swashes can breathe—brand marks, boutique packaging, wedding suites, event stationery, social graphics, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or product names, especially when paired with a calm sans or serif for supporting text.
The style reads as refined yet informal—like modern calligraphy done with a pointed pen. It conveys a romantic, boutique feel with a breezy delicacy, suitable for content that wants to feel personal, stylish, and slightly playful.
Designed to emulate contemporary pointed-pen lettering with a polished, fashion-forward finish, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm over rigid uniformity. The tall capitals and looped extenders suggest an emphasis on signature-style personalization and decorative headline impact.
The narrow proportions and high contrast create an open page color at larger sizes, but the finest hairlines may visually recede at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with simple, slender forms and occasional flourish-like curves.
