A delicate, calligraphy-inspired script with a pronounced rightward slant and hairline-to-stem contrast that mimics a pointed-pen feel. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with tall ascenders and descenders and a notably small x-height. Strokes taper into fine terminals and occasional entry/exit flicks, while many capitals feature extended curves and gentle swashes. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm rather than a rigid, uniform texture.
Best suited to short display text where its fine contrast and swashed capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, certificates, beauty or boutique branding, and logotype-style wordmarks. It also works well for elegant headings or pull quotes when given generous size and whitespace.
The tone is graceful and literary, projecting a sense of ceremony and quiet sophistication. Its light, flowing motion feels romantic and poised, with an airy presence that reads more like penned inscription than everyday handwriting.
Designed to evoke formal hand lettering with a pointed-pen sensibility, prioritizing elegance, motion, and expressive capitals over dense text texture. The overall intent appears geared toward refined display typography that delivers a personal, scripted signature in a clean, contemporary way.
Capital forms carry much of the personality through sweeping bowls and long, looping strokes, while lowercase remains minimal and slender. Numerals follow the same thin, calligraphic logic with curved strokes and tapered endings, keeping the overall color light and refined at display sizes.
