A formal script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Strokes taper into fine hairlines and expand into rounded, inkier downstrokes, with frequent entry/exit curls and occasional swash-like terminals. Letterforms show a gentle, consistent rightward slant in the curves while maintaining an overall upright posture, and the rhythm alternates between tight joins and open, looping counters. Capitals are ornate and highly individualized, with extended ascenders and decorative internal loops; lowercase forms are compact through the x-height with long, expressive ascenders and descenders.
This font is well suited to short, prominent text where its loops and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and editorial-style headlines. It works best with generous spacing and at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines and delicate terminals.
The overall tone is graceful and decorative, with a light, courtly feel that reads as romantic and slightly playful. The looping flourishes and high contrast give it a dressed-up, special-occasion character rather than an everyday utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to emulate a polished, hand-calligraphed script with decorative capitals and a refined thick–thin stroke model, prioritizing elegance and flourish for display typography.
The uppercase set is notably more embellished than the lowercase, creating strong hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals are simple but still reflect the same contrast and curved terminals, helping them blend into display compositions.
