A slender, handwritten script with tall proportions and a gently formal, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast between hairline entry/exit strokes and fuller verticals, with tapered terminals and occasional delicate swashes. Letterforms are mostly upright with soft curves, compact bowls, and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, ribbon-like texture. Spacing feels open and light, and the alphabet mixes subtle joining behavior and flowing cursive shapes with a few more print-like constructions, yielding an intentionally hand-drawn, personalized consistency rather than strict repetition.
Well-suited for wedding and event invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and editorial headlines where a delicate script voice is desired. It performs best in short to medium passages such as titles, pull quotes, and name treatments, especially when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines and loops to remain clear.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, combining a refined, invitation-like elegance with a playful, handwritten charm. Its looping forms and thin hairlines convey softness and a sense of crafted detail, making it feel romantic and slightly whimsical without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to capture a polished hand-lettered look: graceful, upright cursive forms with fine hairlines, tall proportions, and subtle swashes that add personality. It aims to provide an elegant script option that feels handcrafted and expressive while staying relatively clean and legible for display use.
Capitals tend to be tall and prominent, with restrained flourishes that help them stand out at the start of words. Numerals follow the same slender, loop-friendly logic and read as decorative rather than utilitarian. In longer lines, the pronounced vertical rhythm and fine connecting strokes create a light, fluttery color that benefits from generous size and comfortable leading.
