A delicate calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent upright stance. Strokes behave like a pointed-pen drawing: hairline entry/exit strokes taper sharply, while downstrokes swell into smooth, inked stems. Letterforms are compact and narrow with tall ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a notably small x-height relative to the capitals. Terminals are frequently finished with gentle hooks and curls, producing soft swashes on several capitals and on letters like y, z, and f; overall spacing is on the open side, giving the forms room to breathe.
Best suited to display applications where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated—wedding stationery, beauty and lifestyle branding, boutique packaging, quotes, and short headlines. It can also work for product names or section headers, but is less ideal for dense text due to the fine strokes and compact proportions.
The font reads as graceful and intimate, with a polished handwritten feel that suggests invitations and personal notes. Its looping terminals and high-contrast rhythm lend a romantic, slightly whimsical tone without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to emulate elegant hand lettering with pointed-pen contrast, prioritizing a refined, decorative presence and expressive capitals. The narrow, tall proportions and tapered joins appear intended to create a light, sophisticated texture in titles and formal messaging.
Capitals are especially expressive, with slender entrance strokes and occasional flourish-like cross-strokes that add character at display sizes. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, mixing fine hairlines with thicker strokes for a cohesive texture in short numeric settings.
