A delicate, slightly right-leaning calligraphic script with thin strokes and subtle tapering that mimics a flexible pen. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with open counters, long ascenders, and a notably small x-height that creates a tall, airy texture. Curves are smooth and rounded, while terminals often finish in soft hooks or small flicks; select capitals include modest swashes and looped entries that add movement without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same light, flowing rhythm, with rounded forms and occasional curl-like terminals.
Well suited to short-form display use such as invitations, announcements, greeting cards, boutique packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a soft handwritten elegance. It also works nicely for pull quotes, headings, and titling where its tall, delicate rhythm can breathe with ample leading.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, suggesting personal correspondence, literary elegance, and quiet sophistication. Its light touch and flowing shapes feel romantic and vintage-leaning without heavy decoration, giving text a gentle, cultured presence.
The design appears intended to capture a formal handwritten look—clean, controlled, and lightly flourishing—while remaining readable as a standalone script for names, titles, and refined decorative text.
Spacing appears generous and the rhythm is even, helping the thin strokes stay legible, though the fine details and high vertical proportions can make dense paragraphs feel wispy. The contrast is understated rather than dramatic, so the design reads more like a neat pen hand than a high-contrast copperplate style.
