A tall, slender script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, pen-like stroke logic. Forms are largely upright with long ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and a small x-height that emphasizes verticality. Lettering alternates between partially connected cursive behavior and separated forms, with frequent entry/exit strokes, soft curves, and occasional looped constructions in both capitals and lowercase. Spacing is irregular in a natural way, and the numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast with narrow, elongated silhouettes.
This font works well for short to medium-length display settings such as brand marks, boutique packaging, event stationery, menu titles, pull quotes, and social graphics. It is especially effective when paired with a calmer serif or sans for supporting text and when used at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is graceful and slightly playful—more boutique and romantic than utilitarian. Its high-contrast strokes and looping gestures evoke a handwritten, dressy feel suited to expressive, personality-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a fashion-forward, handwritten calligraphy impression with dramatic contrast and tall, elegant proportions. Its flourished capitals and lively rhythm suggest a focus on expressive display typography rather than extended reading.
Capitals are notably decorative and height-dominant, creating a strong headline rhythm; at the same time, the narrow proportions can make dense text feel tight. The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp contrast, so it reads best when given adequate size and breathing room.
