A slanted, calligraphic script with crisp thick–thin modulation and a pen-driven rhythm. Strokes are tapered with pointed entry and exit terminals, and many capitals feature generous loops and open, oval counters. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders/descenders and a small lowercase core, giving the lines a tall, airy texture. Connections are fluid in running text, while individual glyphs retain distinct, slightly varied widths that reinforce a natural handwritten cadence.
Works best for short display settings where its delicate contrast and flourished capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, labels, and pull quotes. It can also suit headlines or subheads paired with a simpler text face, especially when a refined handwritten accent is desired.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, with a polished handwritten character suited to expressive, personal messaging. Flourished capitals and high-contrast strokes add a sense of sophistication and ceremony without becoming overly formal.
Likely designed to capture the feel of a pointed-pen signature style: tall proportions, pronounced contrast, and smooth cursive flow that reads as intentionally crafted rather than casual. The emphasis on expressive uppercase forms suggests a focus on display typography for elegant, occasion-driven designs.
Capitals are a key feature: several show extended leading strokes and rounded bowls that create prominent swashes at display sizes. Numerals follow the same pen-contrast logic and include curving forms that visually harmonize with the script, supporting cohesive mixed text when needed.
