A delicate calligraphic script with a quick, pen-drawn rhythm and gently uneven stroke behavior. Letterforms lean noticeably and show tapered entries and exits, with occasional sharp hairline starts and slightly thicker downstrokes that create a soft contrast. Proportions are tall and narrow in the lowercase with a short x-height and long, flowing ascenders/descenders; capitals are more open and display restrained swashes. Spacing is loose and the baseline feel is lightly wavering, reinforcing an organic handwritten character while keeping forms legible.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where a handwritten formality is desired. It also works for short editorial headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a refined, personal signature-like texture; longer passages may require generous size and spacing for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is graceful and literary, evoking personal correspondence, journaling, and classic penmanship. Its lightness and flourishes give it a romantic, old-world feel without becoming overly ornamental, making it read as tasteful rather than exuberant.
Designed to capture the look of careful calligraphy written with a flexible pen: light, swift, and expressive, with selective swashes to add elegance. The intent appears to balance decorative charm with recognizable letterforms for readable display use.
Capitals and lowercase mix comfortably, with several letters featuring distinctive loops and extended terminals that add personality in headlines. Numerals are similarly light and slightly stylized, matching the script’s airy texture and maintaining consistent slant and stroke finish.
