A tall, slender script with pronounced vertical emphasis and crisp, high-contrast stroke behavior. Curves are drawn with fine hairline joins and occasional thicker downstrokes, giving the letterforms an airy, ink-on-paper feel. Many characters feature compact loops and teardrop-like terminals, while capitals stand upright with narrow proportions and minimal lateral spread. The rhythm is flowing and consistent, with smooth entry/exit strokes and a slightly bouncy baseline created by long ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its thin hairlines and intricate loops can remain clear—such as wedding or event invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and editorial or social media headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set generously with ample spacing.
The overall tone reads refined and playful at once—like modern calligraphy with a touch of vintage charm. Its delicate lines and looping forms suggest elegance and intimacy, while the narrow, towering shapes add a stylish, fashion-forward personality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary formal script that prioritizes elegance, vertical grace, and decorative loop work. It’s built to add a handcrafted, premium feel to titles and names rather than to function as dense body text.
Uppercase forms are especially elongated and decorative, with several letters relying on thin interior loops as signature details. Numerals follow the same tall, calligraphic logic, with curved figures and light finishing strokes that match the letter terminals.
