A slender, calligraphic script with tall, willowy proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads like a pointed-pen style. Strokes taper into fine hairlines, with occasional inkier downstrokes and soft, brushlike terminals. Capitals are narrow and elongated, often built from single sweeping strokes and modest entrance/exit swashes; lowercase forms are similarly tall with looped ascenders and simple, open counters. The overall rhythm is vertical and airy, with generous whitespace inside letters and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn texture that keeps the forms from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline detail can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and editorial headlines. It can work for short passages such as quotes or menu headings when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is graceful and intimate, combining a formal handwritten feel with a playful, slightly fanciful sparkle. It suggests boutique polish without becoming stiff, making it feel romantic, charming, and gently theatrical.
Designed to evoke a polished hand-lettered signature look with pointed-pen elegance: tall, narrow forms, delicate hairlines, and selective swashes that add personality while keeping text usable for short display lines.
Word shapes stay readable in longer phrases, but the extremely fine hairlines and compact lowercase can visually soften at small sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with a mix of simple forms and subtle calligraphic curves that match the letterforms.
