A delicate script with tall ascenders, compact lowercase proportions, and a lively baseline rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline connectors and fuller downstrokes, creating a crisp calligraphic contrast with teardrop terminals and occasional tapered exits. Letterforms are generally upright with narrow counters and generous internal loops, especially in capitals, giving the set a vertical, graceful profile. Connections appear fluid and consistent, with some characters joining cleanly while others keep small gaps or entry strokes that read as handwritten pen lifts.
Well-suited to wedding and event stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and display typography such as quotes, titles, and short headlines. It works best when given ample size and spacing, and when used for concise text where the looping capitals can shine without reducing clarity.
The overall tone is elegant and lightly playful, balancing formal calligraphy cues with a casual handwritten spontaneity. Fine hairlines and looping swashes add a romantic, boutique feel, while the steady verticality keeps it polished rather than messy.
Designed to emulate a refined, pen-written script with fashionable contrast and ornamental capitals, prioritizing elegance and personality over utilitarian text setting. The narrow, vertically oriented forms and airy connectors aim to create a graceful, boutique display voice for expressive naming and headline use.
Capitals are notably expressive, featuring long lead-in strokes and ornamental loops that can increase word shape variety and visual emphasis. Numerals are slim and stylized, with curved forms and light terminals that match the script’s airy texture. The contrast and thin joins suggest it will read best at moderate-to-large sizes where hairlines have room to breathe.
