A delicate formal script with tall ascenders and long, looping descenders, drawn with a calligraphic, hairline-like stroke that shifts between thin entry/exit strokes and slightly fuller verticals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous internal counters and a light, floating baseline rhythm. Capitals are ornate and swashy, featuring extended entry strokes and oval loops, while lowercase forms stay slim and open with minimal joining and frequent pen-lift behavior. Numerals are similarly slender and curvilinear, with graceful terminals that match the script’s flowing cadence.
Best suited for display settings where its delicate strokes and flourished capitals can read clearly—such as invitations, greeting cards, event stationery, boutique branding, and short headlines. It also works well for monograms and name-focused lockups where the ornate capitals can take center stage.
The overall tone is refined and airy, leaning toward romantic and ceremonial styling. Its sweeping capitals and soft curves add a touch of whimsy without becoming overly playful, giving it a poised, boutique feel.
The font appears designed to emulate refined hand-lettered calligraphy for elegant display use, prioritizing graceful loops, tall proportions, and decorative capitals over dense text readability.
The design relies on thin strokes and long extenders for personality, so spacing and line height benefit from a bit of breathing room. The most distinctive character comes from the capital set, which reads like hand-drawn calligraphy with decorative loops and gentle tapering terminals.
