A tall, slender handwritten script with pronounced vertical rhythm and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Strokes often taper into hairline entry/exit flicks, with occasional heavier downstrokes that read like brush or pointed-pen pressure. Letterforms are upright and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and gently rounded bowls; connections appear selective rather than fully continuous, keeping the texture lively and slightly irregular. Terminals are frequently hooked or looped, and the capitals are simplified but expressive, pairing clean stems with light cross-strokes and occasional swashes.
This font is best used for short-to-medium display text where its fine hairlines and tall proportions can shine—wedding and event invitations, beauty/fashion branding, boutique packaging, and elegant headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is refined and lightly playful—more boutique and romantic than formal calligraphy. Its high-contrast delicacy and looping terminals give it a fashionable, handcrafted feel suited to graceful, personal messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate a refined hand-script with a contemporary, fashion-forward narrowness—prioritizing elegance, vertical rhythm, and expressive loops over strict uniformity. It aims to feel personal and crafted while remaining clean enough for polished display typography.
Texture is intentionally uneven in a hand-drawn way, with small variations in stroke weight and curve tension that add charm at display sizes. Numerals follow the same airy, narrow construction, and several characters lean on elongated verticals to create a rhythmic, ladder-like line color.
