A delicate script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, combining smooth curves with occasional sharp entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are slender and vertically oriented, with generous ascenders/descenders and frequent looped strokes that add flourish without becoming overly dense. The lowercase shows a modest x-height relative to tall ascenders, and spacing feels open, giving the design an airy rhythm. Capitals are especially decorative, featuring long initial strokes and swashes that contrast with the simpler, more compact lowercase.
Well-suited to short, prominent text such as wedding stationery, event invitations, boutique branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and editorial-style headlines. It works best at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and high-contrast modulation remain clear, and where swashy capitals can be given room to breathe.
The overall tone is graceful and romantic, with a lightly playful flourish that suggests ceremony and personal touch. Its fine strokes and looping forms read as polished and expressive rather than casual or rough.
The design appears intended to emulate refined pen lettering: an elegant, high-contrast script with ornamental capitals and smooth connecting motion in the lowercase. It prioritizes charm and sophistication over utilitarian text setting, aiming for a signature-like presence in display typography.
Several capitals use prominent entry swashes that can extend into neighboring space, which makes the font feel luxurious but also means it benefits from careful tracking and line spacing in display settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slim forms and curved terminals that match the letterforms.
