A flowing script with brush-pen calligraphy characteristics, pairing thick, inky downstrokes with hairline entrances, exits, and cross-strokes. Forms are slender and tall with a lively baseline rhythm, and many letters finish with tapered terminals or small flourishes. Uppercase characters lean toward decorative, monoline-hairline constructions with occasional swash-like loops, while lowercase letters are compact with small counters and frequent connecting strokes. Numerals and punctuation echo the same contrast and tapering, keeping an overall light, graceful color despite the strong downstrokes.
Best suited to short to medium display settings such as wedding or event invitations, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and social media graphics where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated. It can also work for titling and pull quotes, especially when paired with a simple sans for supporting text.
The font reads as refined yet playful, mixing formal calligraphic contrast with casual, handwritten spontaneity. Its looping capitals and delicate hairlines give a romantic, boutique feel, while the quick brush rhythm keeps it friendly and contemporary rather than strict.
Designed to emulate modern brush calligraphy in a clean digital script, emphasizing dramatic stroke contrast, tall proportions, and decorative capitals to create an elegant, handcrafted impression for display typography.
Connections between letters appear optional depending on shapes, producing a semi-connected texture in words where some joins are smooth and others break into discrete strokes. The tiny interior spaces and fine hairlines make it visually delicate, with standout personality in capitals and in letters with long ascenders/descenders.
