A formal, calligraphic script with a forward slant and lively, looping forms. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline entry/exit strokes and heavier downstrokes that create a crisp, ink-like rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a notably low x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and frequent swashes—especially in capitals—while the lowercase maintains a connected, cursive flow with occasional breaks and varied stroke endings. Overall spacing is compact and the texture is energetic, with small quirks in terminals and joins that reinforce a hand-drawn character.
Well-suited to short display settings where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated, such as wedding materials, event stationery, boutique branding, packaging accents, and headline typography. It can also work for pull quotes or emphasized phrases when paired with a simpler companion for body text.
The font feels graceful and expressive, balancing refinement with a friendly, handwritten warmth. Its generous loops and swashes give it a romantic, slightly vintage tone, while the tight, lively rhythm keeps it playful rather than strictly formal.
Designed to deliver an expressive, hand-written calligraphy look with an emphasis on elegant capitals and a lively cursive rhythm. The tall proportions and strong contrast suggest an intent to create a distinctive, decorative voice for names, titles, and celebratory messaging.
Capitals are particularly decorative, with prominent entry strokes and curled terminals that can dominate at display sizes. Numerals follow the same cursive logic with slender forms and subtle flourish, aligning visually with the alphabet rather than a rigid lining set.
