A flowing, calligraphic script with an italic forward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes move with a smooth, pen-like rhythm, combining tapered entry/exit strokes with fuller downstrokes and rounded joins. Forms are relatively narrow with compact counters and a short x-height, while ascenders and descenders extend generously, creating a tall, airy vertical profile. Capitals show more flourish and curvature than the lowercase, with occasional loops and gentle swashes that add motion without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited for display settings where its contrast and flourished capitals can breathe—wedding and event materials, beauty/fashion branding, boutique packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short phrases or pull quotes, especially when paired with a restrained serif or sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and romantic, balancing delicacy with confident strokes. It reads as classic and tasteful, with a hint of vintage charm suited to formal, personal, or boutique contexts.
Designed to emulate formal pen lettering with a refined, high-contrast stroke model and graceful cursive movement. The intent appears focused on providing an elegant script voice with expressive capitals and a poised, elongated silhouette for premium display typography.
Letterforms maintain consistent cursive logic, but connectivity varies—some shapes feel more traditionally joined while others appear more standalone, which can create a lively, handwritten cadence in text. Numerals echo the same high-contrast, italic construction with simple, elegant silhouettes and minimal ornament.
