A delicate handwritten script with slender, high-waisted letterforms and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but show subtle pressure-like modulation at curves and terminals, creating a refined, pen-drawn rhythm. Capitals are tall and sweeping with occasional looped entries and generous ascenders, while the lowercase stays compact with very small counters and a notably short x-height. Connections are intermittent rather than fully continuous, with many letters finishing in thin, tapered exits and a generally open, flowing spacing pattern.
Well-suited for invitations, greeting cards, wedding stationery, and other occasions where an elegant handwritten accent is desired. It also works nicely for boutique branding, cosmetics/beauty packaging, and short display lines on social graphics or editorial pull quotes, especially when paired with a restrained sans or serif for body copy.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, with a light, airy presence that reads as personal and expressive. Its looping capitals and fine hairline strokes give it a romantic, boutique feel, leaning more elegant than casual while still retaining a handwritten spontaneity.
The font appears intended to provide a refined, signature-like script for display settings, emphasizing graceful movement, tall proportions, and delicate finishing strokes. Its compact lowercase and swashier capitals suggest a focus on expressive headings and name-style settings rather than extended text.
The design relies on verticality—tall ascenders, narrow bowls, and long, fine terminals—so it benefits from breathing room and benefits visually at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly slender and handwritten in character, with simple forms that match the script’s light touch.
