A delicate formal script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. The letterforms are generally upright with narrow proportions, high ascenders/descenders, and a compact lowercase body that emphasizes vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and pen-like, with occasional swashes and looped terminals (notably in capitals and in letters like g, y, and z), while capitals mix slender stems with decorative flourishes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, alternating sturdy verticals with fine hairlines and gentle curves for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text such as invitations, greeting cards, event materials, boutique branding, product packaging, and pull quotes. It can work for brief sentences where its narrow, vertical rhythm stays legible, but it will be most effective when given room to breathe and set at larger sizes.
The font reads as graceful and slightly playful, combining a polished, formal tone with hand-drawn charm. Its airy hairlines and looping terminals give it a romantic, boutique feel suited to expressive, personable messaging.
The design appears intended to capture a refined calligraphic script look with a hand-rendered liveliness—pairing slender, high-contrast strokes with decorative swashes to create elegant, attention-getting typography for display use.
Stroke contrast is a defining feature, so spacing and background contrast matter: the finest hairlines can visually recede at smaller sizes or on busy backdrops. The lowercase shows an informal, handwritten variability in joins and terminal shapes, while the uppercase provides the primary flourish for display settings.
