A delicate, calligraphic display face with slender strokes and gently modulated contrast. The letterforms are tall and drawn with a smooth, pen-like rhythm, featuring frequent entry/exit curls and small terminal flourishes, especially on capitals. Proportions feel high-waisted with long ascenders and descenders, while counters remain open and clean for a light, airy texture. Overall spacing is even but the widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-drawn, formal script-influenced construction without connecting strokes.
Best suited to invitations, event materials, boutique branding, packaging, and editorial headlines where an elegant, hand-rendered tone is desired. It performs particularly well for short phrases, titles, and pull quotes; for longer text, generous sizing and spacing help preserve clarity.
The tone is graceful and slightly playful, combining formal calligraphic manners with a storybook, old-world charm. Its airy weight and looping terminals add a sense of ceremony and romance while staying approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to evoke formal handwritten lettering with a light, modern cleanliness—prioritizing graceful silhouettes, distinctive capitals, and a refined vertical rhythm for display typography.
Capitals carry much of the personality through exaggerated swashes and curled terminals, while the lowercase stays comparatively restrained and readable. Numerals follow the same thin, refined construction and blend best at larger sizes where the delicate strokes and details can be appreciated.
