A delicate, calligraphic script with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often resolve into hairline entry and exit swashes, with narrow counters and elongated ascenders/descenders creating a high, vertical rhythm. Letterforms show a hand-drawn smoothness with occasional tapering terminals and subtle curls, while spacing remains open enough to keep the dense verticals from clumping in words.
Well-suited to invitations, event stationery, beauty and fashion branding, and elegant packaging where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It performs best at display sizes for headings, names, and short phrases where the hairline strokes and long extenders have room to breathe.
The font conveys a graceful, boutique feel—light on its feet, slightly whimsical, and decidedly refined. Its thin connecting strokes and elongated forms suggest formality without feeling rigid, lending a stylish, editorial tone.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering: a narrow, high-contrast script with elongated proportions and tapered swashes that create an upscale, handcrafted signature effect.
Uppercase forms read like display initials with simplified, narrow structures and understated crossbars, while lowercase is more fluid and looped, especially in letters like g, j, y, and f. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slender construction, matching the overall elegant texture in mixed settings.
