A delicate, right-slanted script with long, tapering strokes and a pronounced calligraphic contrast between hairlines and slightly fuller curves. Letterforms are built from sweeping, continuous motions with frequent entry/exit strokes, soft looped bowls, and occasional extended ascenders and descenders that add vertical sparkle. Uppercase characters are spacious and ornamental, while the lowercase stays compact with small counters and minimal baseline weight, creating an overall light, refined rhythm. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with graceful curves and occasional swashes that keep the set consistent with the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, names, and short phrases where its slender strokes and flourished forms can be appreciated—such as invitations, wedding stationery, beauty or fashion branding, and boutique packaging. It performs best at moderate-to-large sizes and with ample line spacing to accommodate tall ascenders/descenders and looping capitals.
The tone reads refined and intimate—more like personal handwriting done with a pointed pen than a utilitarian script. Its thin strokes and flowing loops lend a romantic, boutique feel, suggesting ceremony, fashion, and editorial elegance rather than everyday note-taking.
The design intent appears to be an elegant handwritten script that captures the gesture of pointed-pen lettering: light, swift, and ornamental, with emphasis on graceful movement and expressive capitals for display-oriented typography.
Spacing appears naturally irregular in a handwriting-like way, with some letters taking more horizontal room due to long joining strokes and flourishes. The stroke terminals often finish in fine hairlines, and several capitals lean into dramatic looped forms that can become a focal point in short words or initials.
