A formal script with a calligraphy-inspired, high-contrast stroke model: broad, inky downstrokes paired with hairline upstrokes and entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long, tapering terminals and occasional looping swashes. Capitals are expressive and varied, often using slender cross-strokes and extended curves, while lowercase forms mix simple joins with intermittent breaks that read as pen lifts. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly irregular, reinforcing a handwritten construction while maintaining a consistent slanted-vertical posture and crisp, pointed terminals.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline details and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, beauty/fashion branding, boutique packaging, short headlines, and signature-style logotypes. It works especially well for brief phrases or names, where the expressive capitals and contrast can take center stage.
The font conveys an airy, refined elegance with a playful, boutique feel. Its thin hairlines and flourished capitals create a romantic, celebratory tone, while the narrow proportions add a modern, fashion editorial sensibility.
Designed to emulate a pointed-pen calligraphic hand with dramatic contrast and graceful finishing strokes, prioritizing elegance and personality over utilitarian text neutrality. The narrow, upright structure and decorative capitals suggest an emphasis on stylish display typography for premium or celebratory contexts.
Spacing and joins appear intentionally loose, which helps preserve the hairline detail but can make longer words feel more textured than smoothly continuous. Numerals are similarly calligraphic, with slender curves and light finishing strokes that match the script’s delicate contrast.
