A delicate cursive script with pronounced slant, long ascenders and descenders, and a light, hairline stroke that swells subtly on curved downstrokes. Letterforms are narrow and tightly paced, with generous entry/exit strokes that encourage flowing connections in words. Capitals are tall and expressive with looping, ribbon-like construction, while lowercase maintains a small body height and relies on extended strokes for rhythm. Numerals follow the same lean, using simple, handwritten forms with minimal ornament.
Well suited to wedding suites, invitations, fashion or beauty branding, and editorial-style pull quotes where a light, elegant script is desired. It performs best in short lines—names, headings, and signature-style accents—where its tall capitals and flowing connectors can be appreciated.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, reading like fine penmanship on stationery. Its light touch and sweeping movement feel refined and slightly nostalgic, lending a poetic, formal-leaning charm without heavy decoration.
Designed to emulate refined handwritten calligraphy, prioritizing graceful movement, expressive capitals, and a light, pen-drawn presence for upscale, personal communication.
Contrast is most noticeable at joins and curves rather than broad stroke width, giving the script a crisp, inked-on-paper look. The tight internal counters and slender horizontals suggest it will benefit from moderate sizing and ample whitespace around it.
