A delicate formal script with hairline entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions, set on a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from long, tapering curves with pointed terminals, frequent loops, and occasional swashes, creating an open, airy texture. Capitals are notably taller and more decorative, while lowercase forms stay compact with slim joins and narrow counters, giving the overall line a light, flowing rhythm.
Best suited for short, prominent text where its fine strokes and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding stationery, event invitations, beauty and fashion branding, boutique packaging, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It can also work for signatures or logo marks where a refined handwritten impression is desired.
The font conveys a poised, romantic tone—polished and intimate rather than casual. Its featherweight strokes and graceful movement suggest ceremony and finesse, with a boutique, fashion-forward feel.
The design appears intended to emulate pointed-pen calligraphy in a clean, controlled script, emphasizing elegance through sharp contrast, slender joins, and expressive capitals. Its proportions and flourished details prioritize sophistication and display impact over utilitarian body-text readability.
Ascenders and descenders are extended and curvilinear, adding vertical drama and making spacing feel lively, especially around letters with deep loops (such as g, y, and z). Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender strokes and subtle flourish, pairing naturally with the letterforms in display settings.
