A flowing handwritten script with a calligraphic, brush-like stroke and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are generally upright with a lively baseline rhythm, mixing tall ascenders and deep descenders with compact lowercase bodies. Strokes taper into hairline entry/exit points and expand into bold downstrokes, with frequent loops and occasional swash-like terminals. The texture alternates between delicate, threadlike joins and heavier vertical emphasis, creating a varied, expressive color across words.
Well-suited to invitations, greeting cards, wedding collateral, and boutique branding where an elegant handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for short quotes, headers, and packaging accents, especially when given generous spacing and used at medium-to-large sizes to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone feels refined yet playful—like modern calligraphy used for personal notes and celebratory messaging. Its looping gestures and high contrast give it a romantic, boutique character, while the slightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm keeps it approachable and informal.
Designed to evoke modern hand-lettered calligraphy with a balance of delicate hairlines and confident brush downstrokes. The intent appears to be expressive display typography that adds personality and flourish to short-form copy, emphasizing charm and sophistication over continuous-text readability.
Uppercase forms tend to be more decorative and airy, while many lowercase letters lean toward simplified, single-story shapes with long, graceful extenders. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with slender curves and occasional exaggerated strokes that read best at display sizes rather than dense text settings.
