A delicate, right-leaning script with hairline strokes and gentle contrast, built from smooth, continuous curves and occasional tapering. Letterforms are slender and tall, with open counters and ample white space that keeps the texture light and airy. Terminals frequently resolve into small hooks and loops, and several capitals feature extended entry strokes and ornamental swashes. The rhythm is flowing and calligraphic without connecting letters, maintaining consistent line quality across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where its fine strokes and swashed capitals can be appreciated, such as wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, beauty or boutique branding, and premium packaging. It works well for short phrases, names, and headlines, and is less suited to dense text or very small sizes where the hairlines may lose presence.
The font conveys a graceful, intimate tone—more like careful pen lettering than a rigid formal script. Its thin strokes and looping finishes add a soft, lyrical character that feels romantic and slightly whimsical while still reading as polished.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of elegant pen calligraphy in a clean, repeatable form, emphasizing slender proportions, flowing movement, and decorative capitals for a refined, personal voice.
Capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, creating strong contrast between initial letters and the rest of a word. Numerals follow the same slender, gently curled logic, with understated flourishes that keep them visually aligned with the letterforms.
