A hairline cursive with a strongly slanted, calligraphic feel and pronounced contrast between whisper-thin connectors and slightly emphasized curves. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders and frequent looped entrances/exits that keep the rhythm continuous. Strokes taper into fine terminals, and several capitals feature extended flourish strokes and open, oval counters. Overall spacing reads light and airy, with a lively baseline that stays controlled rather than bouncy.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where its hairline contrast and flourished capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It works especially well for names, headings, and signature-style lockups, and is less suited to dense body copy where its thin connectors and tight proportions may reduce clarity.
The font conveys a graceful, intimate tone—more like careful penmanship than bold display lettering. Its thin strokes and elongated proportions create a sense of luxury and softness, suited to romantic or ceremonial messaging. The prominent swashes add a formal, signature-like personality.
Designed to emulate refined, flowing handwriting with a pen-and-ink sensibility, prioritizing elegance and continuity of stroke. The tall, narrow construction and swashy capitals suggest an emphasis on formal personalization—creating a distinctive, handwritten impression for display typography.
Capitals are notably decorative and can dominate a line, especially where their leading strokes extend far left or right. Numerals follow the same slender, cursive logic with simple forms and light contrast, maintaining the delicate texture of text. At smaller sizes the finest strokes may visually fade, while larger sizes reveal the nuanced tapering and curves.
