A flowing script with a pronounced rightward slant and brush-pen contrast, alternating thick downstrokes with fine hairline connections. Letterforms are narrow and tall, with compact lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes end in tapered terminals and occasional extended entry/exit swashes, while counters stay relatively open to preserve clarity in motion. Capitals are expressive and looped, often larger than the lowercase with decorative turns that give words a strong lead-in and distinctive silhouette.
This font works best for short to medium-length text where its contrast and swashes can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, pull quotes, headlines, and social posts. It can also serve as an accent face paired with a restrained sans or serif for supporting text.
The overall tone feels personable and polished—romantic and slightly formal, yet still relaxed and handwritten. Its energetic curves and soft tapers suggest a crafted, boutique sensibility suited to friendly, celebratory messaging rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to emulate modern brush calligraphy with a refined, catalog-ready consistency—balancing expressive capitals and tapered strokes with enough structure to keep words legible in display settings.
Connection behavior varies from letter to letter, giving the writing a natural, hand-drawn cadence; some joins are light and threadlike while others break for emphasis. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with simple, readable shapes and occasional swash-like curvature.
