A flowing, calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation reminiscent of a pointed-pen stroke. Letterforms are compact and narrow, with tall ascenders and descenders and a notably small lowercase body, creating a vertical, fashion-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and continuous, with frequent entry/exit strokes and occasional looped forms; terminals tend to taper to fine points while downstrokes build into dark, confident stems. Capital shapes are more open and gestural, using simple swashes and long joining strokes that lead naturally into following letters in text.
Well suited for invitations, wedding stationery, beauty and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and short headline treatments where a refined handwritten voice is desired. It can also work for signatures, product names, and boutique logotypes, especially when set with generous spacing and careful line breaks.
The overall tone is polished and romantic, balancing formality with a handwritten warmth. Its sharp contrasts and airy hairlines give it a refined, upscale feel, while the lively slant and occasional loops keep it personable and expressive.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a clean, consistent digital form—prioritizing graceful movement, dramatic contrast, and compact elegance for display-oriented typography.
In running text, the narrow proportions and tall extenders produce an energetic line texture with strong vertical emphasis. Some joins and counters tighten at smaller sizes, so the design reads most clearly when given breathing room and adequate size or tracking. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and tapered terminals that integrate visually with the alphabetic forms.
