A formal script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, ink-like finish. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact proportions and a notably short x-height relative to tall ascenders and deep descenders. Strokes alternate between slender hairlines and firm, rounded downstrokes, while terminals often taper into fine points. The design mixes connected cursive behavior in the lowercase with occasional broken joins, and includes generous loops and swashes on key capitals and extenders, creating an expressive, rhythmic texture.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and swashes can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, beauty or fashion branding, product packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes, but benefits from generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dressy, with a boutique, invitation-style refinement. Its sweeping curves and delicate hairlines add a romantic, slightly playful flourish that feels ceremonial and curated rather than casual.
Designed to emulate a formal, pen-written script with decorative flair, balancing readable cursive structures with selective swash elements for emphasis. The intent appears to prioritize elegance and visual drama in titles and names rather than long-form text comfort.
Capitals show more decorative variance than the lowercase, featuring extended entry strokes and occasional internal loops that read well at display sizes. The numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with narrow figures and elegant curves that visually match the script’s vertical emphasis.
