A flowing, slanted calligraphic hand with open counters and generous white space. Strokes are smooth and lightly tapered, with subtle thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals that often finish in small hooks. Capitals are larger and more decorative, featuring looped entry strokes and occasional swashes, while lowercase forms are compact with a notably short x-height and tall ascenders/descenders. Letter widths vary naturally, creating a handwritten rhythm; figures are simple and slightly flourished to match the script tone.
Well suited to wedding and event materials, greeting cards, certificates, and boutique branding where an elegant handwritten signature feel is desired. It works especially well for short headlines, names, and pull quotes, and can be paired with a restrained serif or sans for longer supporting text.
The overall tone is graceful and personable, balancing formality with a soft, intimate feel. Its looping capitals and gentle curves give it a romantic, invitation-like character rather than a casual note-taking voice.
Designed to evoke formal penmanship with a clean, modern smoothness: decorative capitals for impact, restrained lowercase for continuity, and a light, airy color that keeps compositions from feeling heavy.
Because the lowercase is small relative to the ascenders and the slant is pronounced, the font reads best with a bit of breathing room in size and line spacing. The texture stays consistent across the alphabet, with expressive capitals providing most of the visual emphasis.
