A hairline, calligraphy-led script with pronounced slant and crisp thick–thin modulation. Forms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, and capitals feature sweeping entry strokes, loops, and extended terminals. The stroke joins feel pen-driven, with a lightly irregular rhythm that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Lowercase maintains a small body height relative to the ascenders, and spacing stays open enough for the fine strokes to remain distinct in words.
Well-suited to short display settings where its swashy capitals and fine contrast can be appreciated—such as wedding stationery, event invitations, boutique logos, beauty/fashion packaging, and elegant headlines. It can also work for small snippets like signatures or pull quotes when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is graceful and formal-leaning, with a light, airy sophistication. Its looping capitals and tapered strokes evoke invitations, personal correspondence, and boutique branding, adding a romantic, crafted feel without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate graceful penmanship with calligraphic contrast and expressive capitals, prioritizing a refined handwritten look over utilitarian text economy. The narrow, elongated proportions and flourished terminals aim to create an upscale, ceremonial impression in display typography.
Capitals are the primary display feature, using large swashes that can dominate line length and create strong word shapes. Numerals are similarly slender and understated, matching the delicate texture. The font’s thin connecting strokes suggest it will look best with generous tracking and on clean, high-contrast backgrounds.
