A delicate formal script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistently right-leaning, calligraphic slant. Strokes are hairline-light with needlelike entry/exit terminals and frequent long, tapering swashes, especially on capitals. The lowercase is compact with a short-looking x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that create a high-waisted rhythm; counters are small and crisp, and joins are smooth with an overall continuous flow. Capitals are narrow and stylized, often built from single sweeping strokes and generous loops, while numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic cadence.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline strokes and swashes can breathe: wedding suites, event stationery, luxury packaging, beauty or boutique branding, and short editorial headlines or pull quotes. It works particularly well for initials, names, and brief phrases where the ornate capitals can act as a focal point.
The font conveys a poised, romantic tone—graceful and ceremonial rather than casual. Its light touch and extended flourishes feel upscale and intimate, suggesting handwritten elegance and careful penmanship.
The design appears intended to emulate pointed-pen calligraphy in a polished, fashion-forward script, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and expressive capitals for high-impact display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally open around many letterforms to accommodate swashes, so longer words can develop a lively, undulating baseline and strong word-shape. The most distinctive personality comes from the capital set, where extended lead-in and exit strokes create a signature-like presence.
