A delicate, calligraphic script with a consistent, hairline-like stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are tall and narrow with long ascenders and descenders, creating an airy vertical rhythm and generous white space. Curves are smooth and looped, with occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest natural pen movement; joins are selective rather than fully continuous, keeping words readable while preserving a handwritten flow. Capitals are especially open and sweeping, while lowercase maintains a light, wiry structure and compact bowls.
Best suited to short, expressive settings such as invitations, wedding stationery, greeting cards, signature-style branding, and pull quotes. It performs strongest when given room to breathe and set at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine strokes and tall rhythm remain clear.
The overall tone feels graceful and intimate, like a neat personal note written with a fine pen. Its slender proportions and looping forms convey a romantic, refined mood without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to emulate refined, everyday cursive written with a fine-point pen—prioritizing elegance, lightness, and a graceful handwritten cadence over dense text efficiency.
The numerals and capitals follow the same slim, flowing construction as the lowercase, with elongated strokes and soft terminals. The sample text shows clear word shapes at larger sizes, where the tall proportions and subtle swashes read as intentional elegance.
