A flowing handwritten script with tall ascenders, long descenders, and pronounced stroke contrast that mimics a pointed-pen rhythm. Letterforms are slender and upright-leaning with smooth curves, occasional entry/exit strokes, and selective swashes—especially in capitals—creating a lively, variable texture. The lowercase shows compact bowls and a relatively small core height compared with the extended verticals, while counters remain open enough for clarity in display use. Numerals follow the same delicate, drawn-in-ink feel with simple, narrow silhouettes.
Well suited to brand marks, beauty and lifestyle packaging, wedding or event invitations, and short promotional headlines where a graceful handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes or social graphics when set with generous tracking and line spacing to preserve its fine strokes and loops.
The overall tone feels airy and refined, balancing a graceful, modern calligraphy look with a casual handwritten spontaneity. Its looping forms and slender pacing give it a romantic, boutique-friendly personality, while the irregularities keep it personable rather than formal.
Designed to evoke a contemporary hand-lettered calligraphy look with expressive capitals and a light, ink-on-paper presence. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and personality for display settings rather than dense paragraph text.
Capitals are notably decorative and tall, making them effective as initial letters or short-word highlights. The contrast and thin hairlines create a sparkling texture, but the delicate connections and narrow proportions suggest it will read best when given space and used above small text sizes.
