A hairline script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistently right-leaning, calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are built from long, tapering entry and exit strokes, with frequent looped joins and extended ascenders/descenders that create an airy, vertical silhouette. Capitals are especially ornamental, using generous swashes and open counters, while lowercase maintains a light, flowing connection with small bowls and a modest, understated core height. Numerals follow the same pen-like logic, with fine terminals and occasional curling strokes that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Best suited to display settings such as wedding stationery, event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and elegant pull quotes. It works particularly well for names, short phrases, and headline-style lines where the capital swashes can set the tone without crowding surrounding text.
The overall tone is poised and ceremonial, evoking classic penmanship and formal correspondence. Its thin strokes and sweeping flourishes read as romantic and upscale, with a soft, graceful motion that feels personal while still polished.
Likely designed to emulate refined pointed-pen writing with a strong emphasis on graceful movement and ornamental capitals. The intent appears focused on creating a luxurious, formal script voice for display typography rather than everyday body copy.
Spacing appears intentionally open to accommodate swashes, and the most expressive capitals can dominate a line when used in mixed text. The delicate hairlines suggest it will be more comfortable at larger sizes where the contrast and terminals remain visible.
