A formal handwritten script with flowing, right-leaning forms and pronounced entry/exit strokes. The letterforms combine slender hairlines with heavier downstrokes, creating a lively calligraphic contrast and a gently bouncing baseline rhythm. Ascenders and capitals are tall and often embellished with loops and small swashes, while counters stay open enough to keep words readable at display sizes. Numerals echo the same hand-drawn logic, mixing compact shapes with occasional curls and tapered terminals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, stationery, gift packaging, boutique labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works for pull quotes or section headers when generous spacing and line height are available to accommodate tall ascenders and flourished capitals.
The font conveys a polished, boutique tone with a lighthearted flourish. Its looping capitals and rhythmic strokes feel romantic and slightly old-world, suggesting invitations, personal notes, and decorative branding rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to emulate neat, formal penmanship with a decorative, calligraphic finish. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive flourishes, especially in capitals, to give headings and names a signature-like presence.
Capitals carry much of the personality, with several letters featuring prominent lead-in loops and extended strokes that can increase visual width in headings. Lowercase forms are comparatively restrained but still maintain a consistent handwritten texture through tapered terminals and subtle stroke modulation.
