A delicate, calligraphic script with tall, slender proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes alternate between hairline connectors and heavier downstrokes, with smooth entry/exit terminals and frequent looped ascenders and descenders. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical with occasional swash-like curls, while lowercase letters keep a compact x-height and rely on rhythmic, flowing joins and open counters. Overall spacing feels tight and columnar, emphasizing a graceful vertical cadence.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and looping forms can be appreciated—wedding and event stationery, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and short, expressive headlines. It works particularly well for names, titles, and pull quotes, and is less ideal for dense body text or very small reproduction.
The font reads as polished and lyrical, with a light, graceful presence that feels both romantic and slightly playful. Its looping forms and airy hairlines suggest boutique elegance rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Designed to emulate a formal hand-lettered script with expressive loops and a refined thick–thin pen rhythm, prioritizing elegance and personality over neutrality. The narrow, upright construction appears intended to fit longer names or phrases in limited horizontal space while maintaining a graceful, decorative texture.
Contrast is used decoratively, with thin connecting strokes that can visually recede at smaller sizes, while the heavier downstrokes carry most of the texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, calligraphic construction, and punctuation maintains the delicate, pen-drawn feel.
