A delicate, calligraphic script with long, tapered entry and exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are steeply slanted and built from narrow, looping structures, with generous ascenders and descenders that create a tall, vertical rhythm. Strokes often terminate in fine hairlines and small teardrop-like joins, while capitals feature extended swashes and open counters that keep the texture light. Spacing appears intentionally airy, giving the line a graceful, gliding flow rather than a dense handwritten mass.
Best suited to display typography where its fine hairlines and swashed capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event stationery, boutique branding, logo wordmarks, beauty/fashion packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes. It works particularly well when set with ample tracking and generous leading to accommodate the tall extenders and loops.
The overall tone is elegant and romantic, evoking formal handwriting and invitation-style calligraphy. Its light touch and sweeping capitals feel refined and decorative, with a gentle, polished sophistication rather than casual informality.
The design appears intended to mimic refined, pen-written calligraphy: a graceful, flourish-forward script that prioritizes elegance and expressive movement over utilitarian text readability.
The combination of very thin hairlines and elongated flourishes makes it visually striking at display sizes, while the short lowercase bodies and prominent extenders can create dramatic line-to-line movement in longer phrases. Numerals are similarly slender and looped, matching the script’s flowing, ornamental character.
