A flowing handwritten script with a pronounced rightward slant and tall, narrow proportions. Strokes show a brush-pen character with tapered entries and exits, occasional swelling through curves, and crisp, pointed terminals. Letterforms are lightly connected in running text with open counters and generous interior space, while capitals feature larger loops and gestural swashes that create an energetic rhythm. Spacing is compact and linear, giving lines a smooth, continuous cadence despite subtle irregularities typical of handwriting.
Well suited to wedding and event invitations, beauty and lifestyle branding, product packaging, and social media graphics where a graceful handwritten voice is desired. It also works for short headlines, pull quotes, and signature-style accents, especially at medium to large sizes where its loops and terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and personable, balancing casual handwritten charm with a polished, boutique-like elegance. Its looping capitals and airy curves convey warmth and a romantic, celebratory feel, while the slender rhythm keeps it light and contemporary.
The font appears designed to mimic quick, confident brush handwriting in a clean, repeatable system—prioritizing fluidity, stylish capitals, and a smooth baseline rhythm for expressive display typography.
The design favors vertical reach over width, with prominent ascenders/descenders and comparatively small lowercase bodies that emphasize contrast between tall strokes and compact x-height. Numerals and uppercase forms maintain the same cursive logic, reading as coordinated with the script rather than as separate, geometric figures.
