A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with narrow proportions, generous ascenders and descenders, and a low x-height that emphasizes tall capitals and elongated extenders. Terminals are tapered and often finish in fine hairlines, while downstrokes carry most of the visual weight, creating a lively, pen-driven rhythm. Spacing stays relatively open for a cursive style, and the figures follow the same slanted, lightly calligraphic construction.
This face is well suited to invitations, wedding collateral, greeting cards, boutique branding, and short headlines where its graceful slant and thin hairlines can remain clear. It performs best at larger sizes and in lighter text settings that benefit from its airy rhythm and expressive capitals.
The overall tone is refined and intimate, with a breezy, handwritten charm. Its looping forms and delicate contrasts suggest a personal, romantic voice that feels polished without becoming rigid or overly formal.
The design appears intended to capture the look of a pointed-pen signature style—fluid, fast, and elegant—while remaining consistent enough for repeatable typesetting. It prioritizes expressiveness and a refined handwritten impression for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are especially expressive, featuring large entry strokes and occasional flourish-like sweeps that help set a decorative cadence in headlines. The lowercase maintains a consistent cursive flow, and the numerals echo the same elegant, slightly theatrical movement, supporting cohesive display use.
