A delicate, handwritten script with tall, slender proportions and a pronounced hairline/solid-stroke contrast. Strokes are mostly upright with gentle, calligraphic curvature and frequent looped constructions in capitals and ascenders. Letterforms alternate between simple, tapered stems and rounded bowls, creating a lively rhythm; terminals are often flicked or softly hooked, and counters stay open and airy. Numerals follow the same light, calligraphic logic, with curved entries and thin joins that keep the overall texture quiet and spacious.
This font is well suited to short display settings where its fine strokes and looping capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product packaging, greeting cards, and editorial headlines. It works best at moderate-to-large sizes with comfortable spacing so the hairline details and flourishes remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and slightly playful, balancing formal flourish with an approachable, hand-drawn charm. It reads as romantic and boutique-minded rather than corporate, with an airy refinement that suggests stationery and special-occasion typography.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant, formal-script look with a distinctly hand-rendered personality. Emphasis is placed on tall proportions, graceful loops, and high-contrast strokes to create a refined, decorative voice for display typography.
Capitals are especially distinctive, featuring elongated verticals and occasional internal loops that act like built-in swashes. The mix of narrow forms and sporadic wider, rounded letters produces an intentionally varied cadence that feels handwritten rather than mechanically uniform.
