A delicate handwritten script with hairline strokes and a lightly calligraphic feel. Letterforms are tall and slender with generous ascenders and descenders, and a noticeably small x-height that gives the lowercase a refined, petite presence. Curves are smooth and looping, with occasional long entry/exit strokes and gentle swells at turns that add rhythm without becoming heavy. The capitals are large and expressive—often built from single sweeping strokes—creating strong contrast in scale against the smaller, more restrained lowercase.
Well suited to wedding suites, invitations, and greeting cards where a light, personal script is desired. It also works for boutique branding, cosmetic or artisanal packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes where expressive capitals can lead and the lowercase can provide a soft supporting texture.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, reading like careful personal handwriting with a touch of flourish. Its lightness and looping forms feel airy and romantic, while the playful variation between large capitals and compact lowercase adds a whimsical, boutique personality.
The design appears intended to evoke refined, contemporary handwriting with a fashion-forward delicacy. Oversized, flourish-driven capitals and petite lowercase proportions suggest a focus on elegant display typography for names, titles, and short phrases rather than dense text.
Connections appear selective rather than consistently continuous, so word shapes can alternate between linked and slightly separated letters. Numerals and uppercase forms lean toward decorative display use, while the tiny counters and hairline joins suggest clearer results at moderate-to-large sizes and with ample spacing.
