A tall, airy script with pronounced stroke-contrast: thin hairlines connect into fuller downstrokes, creating a lively handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders and descenders and a noticeably small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and upper strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly springy, with occasional tapered terminals and subtle entry/exit strokes that keep words feeling continuous even when connections are light. Overall spacing is moderately open for a script, helping the slender forms read cleanly while preserving an organic, hand-drawn irregularity.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as invitations, announcements, logos, boutique branding, packaging, and editorial headlines where its delicate contrast can stay crisp. It can also work for pull quotes or product names when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and loops.
The font conveys a refined, poetic tone—delicate and slightly whimsical rather than formal-blackletter strict. Its tall proportions and hairline joins give it a graceful, boutique feel suited to romantic or artisanal branding. The overall impression is gentle and expressive, like careful ink-on-paper calligraphy.
The design appears intended to mimic elegant modern calligraphy with a narrow, vertical stance and high-contrast pen logic. It prioritizes graceful rhythm and flourish over utilitarian text neutrality, aiming for a handcrafted, premium look in display typography.
Capitals show prominent vertical presence and simplified, calligraphic silhouettes, while lowercase forms rely on loops and soft joins for flow. Numerals follow the same contrast and narrowness, with curled shapes on figures like 2, 3, and 9 that echo the script’s flourish. The texture on a line of text stays light and sparkling due to the frequent hairlines and restrained stroke weight.
