A delicate, calligraphy-inspired script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to needle-like terminals, with frequent entry/exit hairlines and occasional flourished loops in capitals and select lowercase forms. Letterforms are narrow and vertically biased, with small counters and a compact x-height that emphasizes tall ascenders and deep, looping descenders. Connections are fluid in running text, with a smooth rhythm and slightly variable stroke endings that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical.
Best suited to display contexts where its contrast and swashes can breathe—wedding stationery, invitations, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and short headline lines. It can work for brief accent text in editorial layouts when given generous size and spacing, but is most effective when used sparingly for emphasis rather than long passages.
The overall tone is graceful and expressive, suggesting handwritten polish without feeling overly formal. Its fine hairlines and looping gestures convey romance and lightness, while the controlled contrast and consistent slant add a refined, curated feel.
Designed to emulate refined cursive handwriting with calligraphic contrast and stylish flourishes, aiming for an elegant signature-like presence. The narrow, tall proportions and looping forms prioritize charm and sophistication in display applications.
Capitals feature prominent swashes and elongated lead-in strokes that can extend into surrounding space, especially in words set close together. Numerals follow the same hairline-and-stem logic, with slender forms and occasional loops that match the script’s cadence. At small sizes, the finest hairlines may visually soften, while larger settings highlight the elegant contrast and flourishes.
