A delicate script with a pronounced rightward slant and hairline-thin strokes throughout. Letterforms are built from long, sweeping curves and tapered terminals, with occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest a pen-drawn motion. Capitals are tall and expressive, featuring generous loops and extended swashes, while the lowercase remains compact with a notably small x-height and slender ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing feels light and open, with variable letter widths and a smooth, continuous rhythm when set in words.
This style is well suited to display applications such as wedding stationery, beauty and fashion branding, boutique packaging, and editorial pull-quotes where elegance is the priority. It works especially well for names, short phrases, and headline accents rather than dense body text.
The font conveys a formal, romantic tone—more like refined handwriting than casual note-taking. Its airy hairlines and sweeping capitals create a sense of luxury and ceremony, with a soft, lyrical character suited to gentle, high-end messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate refined calligraphic handwriting with a light touch—prioritizing graceful motion, long curves, and expressive capitals. Its proportions and contrast aim to create a sophisticated, upscale presence in prominent, large-size settings.
At smaller sizes the extreme thinness and fine joins may soften or break up, while at larger sizes the nuanced curves and flourishes become the main visual feature. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, appearing slender and slightly stylized to match the script’s overall flow.
