A slender, hairline script with pronounced calligraphic modulation created by thin entry/exit strokes and occasional heavier downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, and a notably small x-height that emphasizes a whispy, vertical rhythm. Strokes flow with light, continuous motion, featuring soft loops, long terminals, and intermittent cross-strokes (notably in capitals and the f/t forms). Overall spacing feels open and variable, with a hand-drawn consistency rather than rigid repetition.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline strokes and tall proportions can stay crisp—such as wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, beauty or lifestyle packaging, and short quote treatments. It works particularly well when paired with a sturdier serif or sans for body copy and when given ample size and breathing room.
The font reads as graceful and intimate, with a quiet, poetic tone. Its fine strokes and looping forms suggest formality and romance, while the handwritten irregularities keep it personal and human.
The design appears intended to mimic refined pen lettering: a light, vertical cursive with decorative capitals and elongated terminals that prioritize elegance and movement over compact readability.
Capitals are especially prominent and decorative, often using extended entry strokes and oversized loops that set a strong signature-like character. Numerals follow the same airy construction, favoring narrow silhouettes and light, flowing curves that match the script’s cadence.
