A delicate, calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapering terminals. Letterforms are tall and slender with a compact lowercase body and prominent ascenders/descenders, creating a vertical, airy rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with occasional looped entries and exits; capitals are more expressive, featuring extended strokes and restrained swashes that stay mostly within a single-line silhouette. Spacing appears moderately open for a script, helping individual characters remain distinguishable in mixed-case settings.
Well-suited to wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, and boutique branding where a refined handwritten feel is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, logos, and product packaging accents, especially at larger sizes where the thin hairlines and terminal details can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels elegant and romantic, with a light, graceful movement that reads as personal and celebratory rather than formal corporate. Subtle flourishes add a whimsical touch without becoming overly ornate, lending the font a boutique, hand-finished character.
Designed to mimic a polished hand-lettered script that balances legibility with decorative flair. The narrow, vertical build and selective swashes suggest an intention to deliver a sophisticated, space-efficient script for display-oriented typography.
Capitals carry most of the decorative personality, while the lowercase maintains a simpler connected-script feel that supports longer phrases. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast construction, appearing best when given breathing room rather than set tightly.
