A slender, calligraphic script with dramatic thick–thin contrast and a brush-pen feel. Strokes are mostly upright with tall ascenders and descenders, compact lowercase bodies, and frequent looped entry/exit strokes that give letters a lightly connected rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and elongated, often featuring simple swashes and tapered terminals, while lowercase includes occasional hairline joins and cursive-style bowls. Overall spacing feels light and open, with delicate hairlines and dense vertical stems creating a refined, high-contrast texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where its contrast and delicate hairlines can be appreciated—brand marks, boutique packaging, beauty and lifestyle headlines, wedding or event invitations, and short quotes for social graphics. It can also work for subheads or accents paired with a simpler text face, rather than long-form reading.
The font conveys a polished, fashion-forward elegance with a playful handwritten charm. Its narrow, flowing forms feel light and airy, suggesting boutique sophistication while still reading as personal and expressive.
The design appears intended to capture a modern brush-script signature aesthetic: narrow, elegant letterforms with selective looping and swash-like terminals to add personality while keeping an overall refined, upright rhythm.
In running text the strong contrast and slim counters create a shimmering texture, especially where tall vertical strokes repeat. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing thicker downstrokes with fine, tapered curves for a cohesive look across letters and figures.
