A delicate calligraphic script with tall, slender proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes alternate between hairline upstrokes and fuller downstrokes, with tapered terminals and occasional ink-trap-like pinches where curves turn. Capitals are expressive and varied, featuring long entry/exit swashes, open counters, and looped constructions, while lowercase forms keep a light, rhythmic flow with frequent ascenders and descenders. Numerals echo the handwritten feel with narrow forms and subtle curls, maintaining the same high-contrast pen-like logic across the set.
Well-suited to wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short editorial headlines where elegance is the priority. It also works nicely for pull quotes and social graphics at medium to large sizes, where the hairline strokes and swashes have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, balancing formality with a breezy, handwritten charm. Its thin hairlines and looping gestures give it a refined, romantic character, while the irregularities and lively swashes keep it personable rather than rigid.
Designed to mimic a pointed-pen calligraphy look with a modern, upright stance and a focus on graceful contrast. The intent appears to be decorative clarity: creating a refined script voice for display settings while preserving the spontaneity and flourish of hand lettering.
Letterspacing appears naturally loose for a script, and the connected feel is suggested more by consistent slantless pen rhythm and shared stroke behavior than by continuous joining in every pair. The design relies on hairline details and fine terminals, so it reads most confidently when given enough size and contrast in print or on screen.
