A delicate calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a persistent rightward slant. Strokes taper into hairlines with teardrop terminals, and many capitals feature generous entry/exit swashes and open loops. The lowercase shows a low x-height with tall ascenders and deep, narrow descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Letterforms are mostly non-connecting in the sample, reading more like carefully penned individual characters than a fully joined script, with overall spacing kept light and open.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where its contrast and swashes can be appreciated—wedding materials, event stationery, beauty or jewelry branding, product packaging, and elegant display typography. It can also work for pull quotes or titles when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The tone is polished and romantic, evoking formal penmanship and boutique refinement. Its looping capitals and soft hairline finishes add a gentle, slightly playful flourish without losing its composed, ceremonial feel.
The design appears intended to mimic refined pointed-pen lettering with a display-first emphasis, prioritizing graceful movement, high contrast, and decorative capitals to deliver a luxurious, formal impression.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest personality, with high-contrast bowls and occasional extended cross-strokes that create graceful silhouettes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender stems and subtle curvature that keeps the texture consistent across mixed-case and text settings.
