A delicate cursive script with a fine, hairline stroke and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are steeply slanted with long entry and exit strokes, frequent loops, and occasional swash-like extensions, especially in capitals. Proportions emphasize tall ascenders and generous capitals over a small lowercase body, creating a light, high-contrast rhythm more from curvature than from stroke weight. Spacing and widths vary per glyph in a natural handwritten way, while overall alignment stays clean and consistent in running text.
Well-suited for wedding stationery, invitations, greeting cards, and other occasions where a formal handwritten feel is desired. It also works for boutique branding, signatures, and elegant headlines where the thin stroke and swashy capitals can be given room to breathe. In longer text, it benefits from larger sizes and ample spacing to preserve its fine detail.
The tone is graceful and intimate, evoking formal penmanship and classic correspondence. Its thin strokes and flowing connections feel refined and romantic, with a quiet, understated luxury rather than bold display energy.
Designed to mimic refined, flowing handwriting with an emphasis on graceful capital forms and continuous cursive connections. The intent appears focused on creating an expressive, airy script texture for romantic and formal display settings.
Uppercase letters are particularly decorative, with extended lead-ins and pronounced loops that can increase line length and create expressive word shapes. Numerals follow the same cursive logic with slender forms and slight flourishes, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
