A calligraphic script with a right-leaning posture, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and tapered entry and exit strokes. Letterforms are narrow with tall ascenders and descenders, giving a compact horizontal footprint and a lively vertical rhythm. Strokes alternate between weighty downstrokes and hairline upstrokes, with frequent loops, curled terminals, and occasional swash-like caps that add ornamental sparkle. Connections feel mostly cursive and flowing, while spacing and stroke endings keep the texture airy despite the bold downstrokes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, café menus, pull quotes, and social graphics. For longer passages, it works most effectively as a highlight style paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is elegant yet lighthearted—refined enough for formal notes, but bouncy and personable like modern hand lettering. Its flourishes and looping forms lend a romantic, slightly vintage charm, making text feel celebratory and expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to emulate confident, pen-written calligraphy with a polished, contemporary hand-lettered finish. Its narrow, vertical proportions and decorative terminals prioritize personality and elegance, aiming to deliver strong visual presence in titles and name-centric applications.
Uppercase forms show more decorative movement than the lowercase, with several capitals featuring extended curves and distinctive entry strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with slim joins, curved spines, and strong contrast, helping them blend naturally with mixed-case settings.
