A slender, calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Letterforms show a pen-drawn rhythm with sharp, tapered terminals, occasional hairline-like joins, and high contrast between thick downstrokes and fine upstrokes. Capitals are tall and expressive with generous loops and extended cross-strokes, while lowercase remains compact with tight counters and minimal x-height, creating a lively baseline texture. Spacing and widths vary naturally, reinforcing the handwritten flow while keeping an overall refined, narrow silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its long swashes and contrast can breathe—such as logos, boutique branding, invitations, greeting cards, and beauty or lifestyle packaging. It also works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and social graphics, especially when given ample tracking and size to preserve legibility.
The tone feels graceful and intimate, with a light, stylish energy that reads as modern calligraphy rather than formal engraving. Its looping caps and quick, tapered strokes give it a romantic, boutique-like character that can also come across as playful when used in short phrases.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident hand-lettering with a fashionable calligraphy sensibility—prioritizing expressive capitals, flowing connections, and a refined, delicate stroke structure for elevated display typography.
Ascenders and capitals frequently rise well above the lowercase, and several letters feature dramatic swashes that can become focal points in a line of text. In longer sentences, the delicate internal joins and compact lowercase can appear busy at small sizes, while larger sizes highlight the elegant stroke modulation and flourish work.
