A delicate cursive script with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic stroke model. Letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline entry/exit strokes and fuller downstrokes, giving an airy, high-fashion look. Many capitals and select lowercase feature extended loops and flourished terminals, while the overall rhythm remains smooth and continuous, with narrow joins and generous internal counters. Figures and punctuation (as shown) follow the same flowing construction, mixing simple forms with occasional swashed strokes.
Best suited to display settings where its swashes and contrast can breathe, such as wedding suites, invitations, boutique branding, beauty or fashion packaging, and elegant headlines. It can work for short pull quotes or captions when set with ample size and spacing, but is less appropriate for long, small-size body text.
The font conveys a graceful, romantic tone—polished yet light on its feet. Its looping forms and thin hairlines feel intimate and handwritten, while the high contrast and sweeping capitals add a sense of ceremony and sophistication.
The design appears intended to emulate formal penmanship with a modern, fashion-oriented sheen: sweeping capitals, fine hairlines, and smooth connected strokes that prioritize elegance and expression over utilitarian readability.
Capitals are notably expressive and occupy more vertical space than the lowercase, creating strong headline presence. The very small x-height and fine hairlines can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense passages, while larger sizes highlight its elegant contrast and flourishes.
