A delicate, slanted script with thin hairline strokes and a smooth, pen-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with generous ascenders and descenders and frequent looped entries/exits that create a lightly connected flow across words. Stroke modulation stays subtle, keeping an overall monoline feel, while extended swashes appear in key capitals and in forms like the long, cross-like “t”. Spacing is open and the small letters sit low with compact bowls, emphasizing height and movement over solidity.
This font suits short to medium display settings where elegance is the goal: wedding suites, event stationery, greeting cards, boutique beauty or fragrance branding, and refined packaging accents. It works best for names, headlines, and quotes where the tall, flowing forms can breathe with ample spacing.
The tone is graceful and romantic, reading like careful personal handwriting for formal notes. Its airy lines and gentle flourishes feel upscale and expressive without becoming heavy or dramatic, giving it a poised, intimate character.
The design appears intended to emulate a fine-tip pen script—polished, legible, and decorative—balancing simple hairline construction with selective flourishes to add personality in capitals and word shapes.
Capitals tend to be more decorative and taller than the lowercase, with occasional dramatic loops (notably in characters like Q and some curved capitals). Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten, matching the light touch of the alphabet and maintaining a consistent forward momentum across text.
