A delicate, calligraphy-driven script with tall ascenders, slim proportions, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into hairline terminals and long entry/exit swashes, creating an airy texture with plenty of white space between forms. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with occasional extended loops (notably in capitals and descenders) and a gently irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Letterforms are mostly monoline at the finest points but regularly expand into narrow, inked stems, producing crisp contrast and a graceful vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its high-contrast hairlines and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and elegant display headlines. It works particularly well when given generous tracking and ample line spacing to prevent swashes and tall extenders from colliding.
The overall tone feels formal and romantic, with a refined, boutique sensibility. Its lightness and sweeping curves suggest invitations, personal notes, and decorative titling rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to emulate pointed-pen calligraphy in a clean digital form, prioritizing graceful contrast, ornamental capitals, and a refined vertical rhythm for display use.
Capitals are especially expressive, featuring long, sometimes asymmetric swashes that can occupy significant horizontal space. The spacing and join behavior vary, giving it an organic feel; some connections appear implied by entry strokes rather than fully continuous linking across every pair. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender figures and occasional curled terminals that echo the letter swashes.
