This script has slender, calligraphic strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with long ascenders and descenders and a relatively small lowercase body, creating a lot of vertical rhythm. Many capitals are built with generous entry strokes and looped structures, while lowercase forms use smooth, continuous curves, teardrop-like terminals, and occasional extended cross-strokes (notably on t and f). Spacing is moderately open for a cursive style, helping individual letters remain distinct even when connections are implied rather than tightly joined.
It works best for display settings where its fine strokes and tall proportions can breathe—wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, and headline or logo-style wordmarks. For longer text, larger sizes and ample line spacing help maintain clarity and preserve the font’s delicate contrast.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, like neat hand lettering done with a pointed pen. Its light, flowing motion reads as refined and romantic rather than casual or playful, lending a gentle, personable voice to short phrases and names.
The design appears intended to mimic refined handwritten cursive with a pen-nib contrast, emphasizing elegant verticality and flowing loops. It balances decorative capital forms with relatively readable lowercase shapes to support names, short messages, and polished personal stationery aesthetics.
Numerals follow the same narrow, upright-leaning script logic, with simple, airy shapes and minimal ornament. The alphabet sample shows consistent stroke behavior and curvature, with select swash-like forms that add flourish without becoming overly ornate.
