A delicate, pen-like script with a consistently fine stroke and gentle, calligraphic modulation. Letterforms lean forward with long, tapered entries and exits, and many capitals feature generous loops and open counters. The rhythm is loose and flowing, with varied character widths and frequent extended ascenders/descenders that create a tall, graceful silhouette. Spacing feels intentionally open, helping the thin strokes stay readable while preserving a light, breezy texture.
Works best for short to medium-length display settings where its thin strokes and swashy forms can breathe—wedding suites, beauty and lifestyle branding, boutique packaging, social graphics, and pull quotes. It also suits elegant headings when paired with a sturdier serif or sans for body copy.
The overall tone is intimate and refined—more like a stylish personal hand than a formal engraving script. Its thin, looping forms and swashy capitals give it a romantic, boutique feel suited to expressive, human-forward messaging rather than strict utility.
Designed to capture a light, modern handwritten elegance: expressive capitals, smooth cursive flow, and a fashion-forward delicacy that prioritizes personality and charm in display typography.
Capitals are notably decorative and larger in presence than the lowercase, which reads more compactly and understated. Numerals maintain the same handwritten character, with simple, slightly curved forms that match the font’s light, fluid line quality.
