A hairline cursive with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are tall and linear with long ascenders and descenders, compact counters, and a very small x-height that emphasizes the capitals and extenders. Strokes often taper into needle-like terminals, while select capitals and joins introduce restrained loops and occasional swash-like turns. Spacing and rhythm feel gently irregular in a handwriting way, with variable character widths and a light, continuous flow in text settings.
Best suited to display use where the hairline strokes and contrast can stay crisp—such as logos, boutique branding, wedding stationery, beauty and fragrance packaging, and editorial headlines. In longer passages it reads as expressive handwriting, so it performs best at larger sizes with generous letterspacing and high-contrast rendering conditions.
The overall tone is refined and intimate—more like a quick, graceful signature than a formal script. Its light touch and high contrast lend a luxe, fashion and beauty sensibility, while the looping strokes add warmth and romance without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture a modern, minimal calligraphic signature look: tall, slender forms, selective looping, and a light, refined stroke that prioritizes elegance and pace over robustness. It aims to deliver a distinctive handwritten feel that remains polished for premium-facing applications.
Capitals carry much of the personality, featuring taller proportions and occasional decorative entry/exit strokes that can create strong word silhouettes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with slim strokes and simple, slightly angled forms, matching the script’s understated flourish.
