A flowing script with tall, slender letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show sharp contrast between hairline upstrokes and heavier downstrokes, with smooth, tapered terminals and frequent looped entries/exits. The uppercase set is highly swashed and decorative, with long lead-in curves and occasional cross-strokes that create an expressive rhythm. Lowercase letters are compact with small bowls and long ascenders/descenders, and spacing is naturally uneven in a handwritten way, giving words a lively, organic texture.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display settings where personality matters: wedding suites, greeting cards, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and pull quotes. It works best at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and flourishes have room to breathe, and where ornate capitals can be used as accents.
The overall tone feels graceful and personable, blending a polished calligraphic look with casual handwritten charm. Its generous loops and airy counterforms give it a romantic, boutique-friendly character that reads as celebratory rather than formal or austere.
Designed to emulate modern pointed-pen handwriting with expressive capitals and smooth joining behavior, prioritizing elegance and motion over strict regularity. The letterforms aim to deliver a signature-like feel for decorative headlines and name-style typography.
Capitals are especially prominent and can dominate a line, making initial letters a key stylistic feature. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with simple forms and occasional curved hooks that match the script’s motion.
