A delicate calligraphic script with pronounced stroke contrast and a strong rightward slant. Letterforms are built from fine hairlines and sharper, inked-downstroke strokes, creating a crisp rhythm and a distinctly pen-written texture. Proportions are tall and compressed, with long ascenders/descenders, compact counters, and small lowercase bodies that sit lightly on the baseline. Capitals show graceful entry/exit strokes and occasional swashy turns, while numerals follow the same slender, flowing construction.
Best suited for short display settings where its hairline details and contrast can be appreciated: wedding suites, event stationery, beauty/fashion branding, boutique packaging, and pull quotes or headers. It can also work as a signature-style accent paired with a simpler serif or sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is sophisticated and intimate, balancing formal calligraphy cues with a relaxed handwritten flow. Its thin hairlines and looping shapes give it a couture, invitation-like elegance, with a soft, romantic feel rather than a bold or playful one.
Likely designed to emulate pointed-pen handwriting in a refined, contemporary way, prioritizing elegance, vertical grace, and flowing connections. The narrow, tall construction and minimal x-height suggest an emphasis on stylish wordmarks and ornamental display rather than long-form readability.
Spacing appears intentionally airy, letting the fine strokes breathe, but the narrow proportions and high contrast make individual letters feel more at home at display sizes than in dense text. The slant and connecting tendencies produce a smooth horizontal motion, especially in word shapes with repeated ascenders.
