A stylized formal script with pronounced thick–thin contrast and long, tapered hairlines. Stems are tall and slender, with compact lowercase bodies and generous ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Many letters feature looped entries and exits, occasional swash-like terminals, and sharp, pointed joins that read as pen-inspired rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are especially decorative, mixing narrow vertical strokes with thin cross-strokes and curled finishes; numerals follow the same contrasty, calligraphic construction.
Best suited to short-form display settings such as logos, beauty and lifestyle branding, invitations, menus, and elegant packaging. It also works well for pull quotes and headlines where the tall proportions and flourished forms can set a sophisticated tone without needing prolonged readability.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining couture-like elegance with a playful, handwritten flourish. Its delicate hairlines and dramatic contrast feel ceremonial and romantic, suited to designs that want a sense of luxury and personal touch.
Designed to evoke a calligraphed, pen-drawn script with a fashion-forward silhouette: tall verticality, dramatic contrast, and decorative terminals that emphasize personality over utilitarian text performance.
Spacing appears intentionally irregular in places, with some glyphs presenting prominent entry strokes and extended terminals that can visually overlap or tighten in continuous text. The most fragile hairlines and fine joins are likely to read best at larger sizes and on clean backgrounds where the contrast can be appreciated.
