A slender, calligraphy-driven script with an italic slant and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to hairlines with pointed terminals, while downstrokes swell into smooth, ink-like stems. Letterforms are built from long ascenders and descenders, frequent entry/exit strokes, and occasional looping counters, giving the texture a lively rhythm. Capitals are more gestural and decorative, with extended curves and occasional cross-strokes that read like pen flourishes, while lowercase remains compact and flowing with a noticeably small x-height.
Best suited to short to medium display text where its delicate hairlines and flourishes can remain clear—such as invitations, wedding collateral, logo wordmarks, product packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It works particularly well when paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, evoking handwritten notes, formal invitations, and boutique branding. Its high-contrast pen feel adds a sense of luxury, while the loose, organic joins keep it personable rather than rigid.
Designed to emulate a flexible pointed-pen script with a mix of formal elegance and human variation, prioritizing expressive capitals and a flowing word rhythm over utilitarian text uniformity.
Spacing appears intentionally airy, with many letters relying on long connecting strokes to carry the rhythm across a word. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, favoring thin hairlines and curved, handwritten construction that feels consistent with the letterforms.
