A hairline, calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and long, tapering entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from thin, continuous curves with occasional pointed turns, creating an airy texture and open counters. Ascenders and descenders run long and sweeping, while the lowercase bodies stay small, producing a high-contrast silhouette through proportion rather than stroke weight. Capitals are slender and lightly flourished, and the overall rhythm is quick and flowing with minimal interruption between strokes.
Best suited to short, expressive settings where its delicate strokes and sweeping forms can be appreciated—signatures, invitation suites, cosmetic or boutique branding, and editorial pull quotes. It works especially well with generous tracking and ample line spacing, and is less suited to dense paragraphs or very small UI text where its hairline construction may recede.
The font conveys a graceful, intimate tone—more like fast, stylish handwriting than formal engraved script. Its light touch and looping movement feel romantic and personal, with a refined, fashion-forward calm rather than playful exuberance.
The design appears aimed at capturing a refined, contemporary handwriting feel—prioritizing speed, elegance, and a signature-like silhouette. Its narrow forms, extended terminals, and compact lowercase suggest an intention to create a lightweight, sophisticated script for display-centric typography.
At text sizes, the very thin strokes and small lowercase presence can make the texture look wispy, while the extended ascenders/descenders and long cross-strokes add drama in headlines. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, staying narrow and lightly swashed, which reinforces the cohesive, signature-like character.
